Diversity Scholars Series: Valerie Jarrett and Democracy

Thursday, October 20, 2022
Room V
12:15 PM - 1:20 PM

Valerie B. Jarrett is a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the University of Chicago Law School. She serves on the boards of Ariel Capital Management Holdings, 2U, and Lyft, and she is also a senior advisor to the Obama Foundation and Attn. The Diversity Scholar Speaker Series brings together members of our law school community to discuss topics varying in subject that promote diversity, equity and inclusion. Students are encouraged to engage in dialogue with invited guests. This event is co-sponsored by Black Law Students Association (BLSA) and the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy (ACS).     

This convening is open to all invitees who are compliant with UChicago vaccination requirements, and is a mask-optional. We strongly encourage unvaccinated individuals and those preferring masks to do so. Participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures.
