The NNCI Diversity Subcommittee will host an online Town Hall to help draw out concerns, stories, best practices, and successes related to combating racism in shared nanotechnology user facilities. The Town Hall, anticipated to last up to 1.5 hours, serves two purposes: sharing personal experiences from all perspectives and outlining possible actions that ensure NNCI sites provide safe environments that will not tolerate racism in any form. The Town Hall is open to all faculty, staff, and users (internal and external) who are associated with NNCI facilities.
