My name is Frank Stiefel, and I am junior at Elon and participating in the class Making Waves: Philosophy Against Racism. As a part of the course, I am working with two other classmates to conduct research on how often the topic of racism is brought up in various classes at Elon, and whether students and faculty feel comfortable talking about racism. If you could please either fill out the student or faculty questionnaire it would be very much appreciated!

Regards,

Frank Stiefel
