About This Event

Tensions between communities of color and law enforcement is not an issue exclusive to the City of Rochester. Join us as Joe Testani, Director of the Justice & Security Institute at Roberts Wesleyan College, and Herb Alexander, Chief Diversity Office, discuss the complexities facing our communities when it comes to these issues.  Topics to be discussed include:

  • Discuss the Public Service Diversity Initiative study that is aiming to gather credible data from marginalized communities on the perspective on law enforcement.
  • Discuss some of the reasons for the current relationship between our local community and law enforcement. 
  • Provide opportunities for improved communication and reconciliation.

Plus, you’ll get an exclusive Virtual Tour of the new Golisano Community Engagement Center where the Justice & Security Institute will be housed along with Office of Diversity & Equity, Student commons, prayer chapel, café and more!
