Vice president for Institute Diversity Equity and Inclusion and chief diversity officer Archie Ervin shares his thoughts on the recent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbury and racial injustice in ‘Commitment to Drive Change.’

“Last weekend, President Cabrera and I discussed at length the horrific events that have occurred in the black community in the U.S. in recent weeks,” he began. “The statement the president released Sunday about the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the deaths of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky, and Ahmaud Arbury in Brunswick, Georgia, inspired me.”
