About this Event
Join us for an engaging in-person BIPOC panel event, hosted by the Master’s in Professional Counseling program at Carlow University. This discussion will focus on supporting BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) students in higher education through culturally responsive and sustainable counseling practices. Our expert panelists will explore the impact of recent legislation, barriers to accessing mental health support, and ways to ensure meaningful, lasting change within campus communities. Whether you’re a student, educator, or ally, this is your space to connect, learn, and make a difference together. Don’t miss out on this chance to be part of an inspiring community and engage in ways we can translate dialogue into action!
Session Objectives
