MIPTA Diversity, Equity &Inclusion
February, 2020

I apologize for not publishing a January newsletter. My husband and I experienced an unexpected death of a family member who lived out of our state that required our immediate attention and a great deal of time to navigate.
Let's get ourselves up and get things moving!
Best,
Jennifer Johnson,
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Chairperson
Vice President for Student Involvement
