What We Do Matters: The Power of Civility in Everyday Life

Civility isn't just being nice — it's daily choices. In this session, we explore how everyday choices—from the words we use to the way we listen—shape the culture of our workplaces. We reframe civility as more than just manners—it’s professionalism with purpose. Expect real-world examples, interactive practice, and maybe even a laugh or two. Come curious. Leave connected.

JUNETEENTH: What Is It and Why Didn't I Know About It?

about robyn

I'm robyn andrews, a public scholar, writer and speaker with a habit of following interesting questions wherever they lead. My work has taken me from overlooked Black history and Juneteenth to civility, leadership and even talking about public scholarship.

I've spent almost 20 years in higher education but some of my favorite learning happens outside the classroom - in libraries, community spaces, workplaces, faith communites, pretty much any room full of people willing to wonder, "Wait...what?"

I'm also the author of Unseen Black History: 29 stories to celebrate Black History Month (in case it’s a leap year!) - a collection born from the same curiosity that drives my presentations: there's always more to the story. Join me, won't you?
