Affinity Group Meetings
In response to the ACHA Racial Marginalization Health Inequities Task Force recommendations, we will be hosting a series of race and ethnicity-based affinity group spaces at this year’s Annual Meeting. The spaces will be divided into a space for white-identified attendees and a space for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) identified attendees, which includes those who identify as Arab or Middle Eastern, Asian, South Asian, Pacific Islander, Latinx or Hispanic, Native, and Multiracial.
White-identified spaces:
This will be a space for white-identified folx who are interested in starting or furthering their anti-racist practice. A crucial
part of anti-racism work for white people is examining and deconstructing their whiteness and white privilege. Wherever
you fall in the process of practicing anti-racism, we welcome you to explore how we can create a more anti-racist approach within college health and at ACHA.
BIPOC-identified spaces:
This will be a space for those who are interested in connecting with colleagues who share similar identities, reflect on
their experiences navigating college health and higher education, and share experiences and strategies for working with colleagues and students as someone who identifies as BIPOC.
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Discussion will include utilizing vaccination requirements for college students as a prevention measure and the development of a robust contact tracing team as a response measure.

The space will provide an opportunity to meet, share, heal, increase community, and learn skills to navigate life successfully as a woman of color. It will provide a safe, supportive, empowering, and liberating atmosphere for engaging in courageous and unique conversations at the intersection of race and gender.
