The Racial Justice Training Program (RJTP) is a cohort-based racial and social justice education program geared towards all academic advisors.
Participants further develop their awareness, knowledge, and skills needed to better serve students who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), thus also enhancing support for students from other historically minoritized groups.
Members of the U of M community have been trained on how to facilitate the program and are our primary facilitators for RJTP cohorts.
As BA Consulting, Rachael Forester and Kim Turner have almost 25 years of combined experience doing equity and justice work.
Forester and Turner created the RJTP program curriculum and also trained UMTC staff to facilitate cohorts starting Fall 2022.

The application for the AY 2024-2025 cohort is now closed. If you are interested in a future cohort of the RJTP program, you can still begin preparing. Check out the advisor Toolkit to help generate ideas for promoting your own growth and development.
