Moving Forward Together to Dismantle Racism

MOC—Moving Our Campus—Forward is a series of events and talks designed to spur conversations and actions for embracing equity and inclusion at UTC.

UTC is people of different regions, nationalities, cultures, races, abilities, ethnicities, generations, interests and viewpoints. And yet, we are one—a University committed to the success of our students and excellence in all we do.

Previous speakers including guests, faculty, staff and students have addressed subjects spanning ways to interact with students from other countries, dealing with different ethnicities, women’s issues, cultural differences and more.

Just Cause: The Experience

Just Cause: The Experience is the newest project from Canamac Productions, the producers of the Defamation Experience, which was hosted at UTC as part of MOC Forward 2019. Similar to the Defamation Experience, audience members are not just spectators, but have the unique opportunity to adjudicate a legal drama. Just cause is about a case involving an artistic director who is suing her former employer—a prestigious Chicago Theater—for breach of contract after firing her for "racial insensitivity."

This dynamic and captivating experience is also relevant and timely as it addresses some of today's most challenging topics, including race, gender, and class discrimination, social justice, and COVID-19. The content allows us to be informed observers, active listeners, and to have robust, open and honest conversations about these topics.

As we continue to move our campus forward, we are excited to bring Just Cause to UTC in this fully immersive virtual format where anyone can register to participate and join the conversation.
