Everyone has unconscious biases\, inherent ideas and impressions about certain groups leading to unfounded conclusions about people in those groups.  Come learn how to overcome personal and institutional implicit biases that can keep organizations from realizing their full potential. \nThis symposium will highlight: \n\nThe social science behind implicit bias.\nThe definition of implicit bias and examples of how it affects our personal and professional lives as well as the success of organizations.\nThe circumstances under which you are more likely to be predisposed to implicit bias in your decision making as well as ways to combat such tendencies.\n\nWho should attend?\nAnyone interested in learning more about unconscious bias\nAll genders are welcome! \nRegister\nCocktails and Dinner Included!  Cost: $25
