Ep. 20: The Anti-Racist Marketer

In this episode Jaime talks with Liz Gross, founder and CEO of Campus Sonar, about anti-racism in higher education. As colleges and universities work to deepen their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), many have taken the step to pledge themselves to the cause of anti-racism. This work, however, requires the commitment of many more across campus. Takeaways from this episode include:How anti-racism is different from being “not racist”Steps leaders can take to bring an anti-racist approach to their organizationHow white people can – and need to be – engaged in this across campusWays to recruit and retain staff from marginalized communitiesBoth Liz and Jaime acknowledge that, as two white women, they likely get things wrong and they apologize in advance for any harm they may cause in this conversation.About Confessions of a Higher Ed CMO​​Confessions of a Higher Ed CMO is sponsored by our friends at Mindpower- a full-service marketing and branding firm celebrating nearly thirty years of needle-moving, thought-provoking, research-fueled creative and strategy.
