Open to students, faculty and staff, UnLearn Week provides a safe, campus-wide forum for panel discussions, lectures, presentations and workshops that aim to increase self-awareness of deep-seated prejudices and stereotypes, encourage personal evaluation of attitudes and actions towards those with different cultural values, and increase knowledge of different cultures.
