In addition to her role as dean, Cathann Kress serves as a trustee with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The Foundation has hosted the National Day of Racial Healing as part of its Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) which was launched in 2016, and is a comprehensive, national and community-based process to plan for and bring about transformational and sustainable change, and to address the historic and contemporary effects of racism. At its core, TRHT will unearth and jettison the deeply held, and often unconscious beliefs created by racism – the main one being the belief in a “hierarchy of human value.” This belief has fueled racism and conscious and unconscious bias throughout American culture and the perception of inferiority or superiority based on race, physical characteristics or place of origin.
