Connections, Pride, and Spirit (CPS) Day is an opportunity for our school community to learn about equity and inclusion through workshops, performances, and play—coordinated by the Office of Equity & Inclusion and the Student Life Team. The unique and varied offerings were unified around the theme: “We Shall Overcome: The Continuing Struggle for Justice!” We thank all of our tremendous speakers and the students and faculty who worked hard to make CPS Day a meaningful and fun expression of our values.
