Inaugural Diversity and Inclusion Symposium 2022
The inaugural Diversity and Inclusion Symposium is set for Jan. 20-21.
Call for Presenters
Over the past year, higher education institutions around the United States have had to grapple with activism on campus and a global health pandemic. Against this landscape, educators and administrators must ensure that all students continue to have access to and provide inclusive support to participate in and benefit from academic success, interpersonal growth and career readiness that higher education can and should provide.
Sessions for the Diversity and Inclusion Symposium will go beyond the rhetoric and prioritize campus strategies, institutional culture and accountability in operationalizing the values of inclusive excellence. Conference sessions will explore the experiences of institutional and community participants, best practices in teaching and learning, identify barriers that are hindering our progress, and promote discussions that are embedded in our systems, structures and policies. It is imperative that we stay focused on making progress towards a transformation that can be achieved and sustained and efforts that represent more than an illusion of inclusion.
