For all other benefit plans your current coverage will remain the same in 2022 unless you make a change during open enrollment. The open enrollment memo will be sent to you via interoffice mail.

DEI Corner Would you like to understand more about implicit and unconscious bias?

If you went through the SHIFTHR training about unconscious bias this year, you may have questions about recognizing, interrupting, and mitigating biases in real-world scenarios. Since 2003, The Kirwan Institute at The Ohio State University has worked with communities to do just that. The Institute has a short series of online modules that feature case studies taken from education settings in U.S. schools. The modules and case studies are designed to give you space to think through when unconscious biases might arise, what their effects might be, and how they might be interrupted to produce different outcomes. You can access the series here. CSHL’s Office of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) works with divisions and departments throughout campus to ensure CSHL is a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment for all. You can contact Charla Lambert (clambert@cshl.edu, x5058, Hershey 214) with any DEI-related questions or suggestions.
