CCPD Statement in Support of Black Lives

We in the Center for Career and Professional Development (CCPD) at Kalamazoo College believe that Black Lives Matter.

We acknowledge that individualistic and systemic racism continues to be pervasive in the United States and around the world, and stand in solidarity with those that are fighting for basic human dignity.

What is our role? The CCPD is taking the summer to carefully review our policies and procedures around employer and alumni relations and staff and student engagement to address our role in the fight against racism. We will share our comprehensive plan at the beginning of Fall Term. 

If you have any questions/concerns/feedback for us, please email us at career@kzoo.edu or fill out this form to send feedback anonymously. 

To report bias, please visit the college’s Bias Data Gathering System: https://hr.kzoo.edu/current-employees/employee-relations/formsandresources/bias-data-gathering-system/
