Allyship at Work Training
Wednesday, May 25
The UB Law Alumni Association and the LAA GOLD Group organized a program that featured Dr. Ursuline Bankhead, Psychology Chief/Assistant Chief of Mental Health, and Chair of the Health Equity Committee for the VA Western New York Healthcare System, who leads attendees in a discussion of “Allyship at Work.”
“Allyship” has been used in support of the LGBTQ population, various racial and ethnic groups, women, and other marginalized populations, especially after the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and the subsequent protests. But what does it really mean?
