Eradicating Systemic Racism

Our alumni community is full of leaders working to eradicate systemic racism and create a more just and equitable Houston. This resource page highlights those efforts in hopes that it will foster dialogue, collaboration, and support among our alumni base. If you are participating in an activity in support of these efforts, please take a few minutes to let us know about your work, using the submission form below. We will review and follow up should we have questions or need clarifications.
