Kit Thomason Crossman, Executive Director of the Maine Human Rights Commission, will speak on March 26 at 5:30 p.m. as part of the Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine’s Distinguished Lecture Series.
This hybrid presentation will take place in person at the Michael Klahr Center (46 University Drive, Augusta) and on Zoom. The event is free and open to UMA alumni, faculty and staff, students, and the general public. Registration is required; please indicate whether you will attend in person or virtually.
As Executive Director of the Maine Human Rights Commission (MHRC)—the state agency responsible for enforcing Maine’s anti-discrimination laws and promoting equal opportunity—Crossman will discuss how the Commission investigates complaints, promotes compliance, and provides resources to help prevent bias and foster inclusion.
Participants will gain practical insight into current civil rights trends in Maine and learn how schools, organizations, and individuals can support the Commission’s mission of fairness and equity. The presentation will conclude with a question-and-answer session.
