Belonging Education & Support System Team

Leaders from across the Sac State campus come together to form the BESS Team. They ensure that the University's bias response is healing, holistic, and also complies with state and federal civil rights laws. The BESS team responds using a restorative justice approach aimed at preventing future bias incidents.
