In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Day, Professor Tamu Chambers facilitated Students Together Opposing Prejudice (STOP) workshops at Siena College on Friday, Jan. 15 for its annual conference.
More than 22 schools attended the conference, where hundreds of Capital Region middle and high school students participate in training exercises that empower them to stand up to intolerance and violence in their schools.
Chambers was selected in August to contribute to an advanced training program. She earned an additional certificate as a facilitator of competency in diversity and equity training. She is a local and national trainer for the Anti-Defamation League’s “A World of Difference Institute.”
Philanthropists Neil and Jane Golub, a former teacher, have long recognized that educating students in grades K-12 is an essential component in producing positive societal change. Their resources complement their activism and commitment to improving lives through education and training. Through the Golub’s generous donations, the institution arm of the Anti-Defamation League provides new tools and resources to keep pace with contemporary challenges in understanding the need to pursue equity for all marginalized groups.
