Tune in Wednesday October 30, 2024, at 12 p.m. (ET) for a distinguished lecture with Tia Brown McNair, Ed.D., Partner at Sova and Senior Consultant with the American Association of Colleges and Universities. Register today!
About this lecture: How do we build a shared understanding of the importance of educational equity and our shared responsibility for creating environments that promote belonging, equity, and student success across all disciplines? What are promising strategies for sustaining a student-ready institution and for delivering on defined equity goals for students and educators? How does our commitment to equity influence decision-making across the institution? This presentation will provide an overview of evidence-based strategies to address these questions based on data collected from national projects focused on student success, equity, campus climate, and outlined in the books "From Equity Talk to Equity Walk," "Becoming A Student-Ready College," and "Strengthening Campus Communities through the Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation Framework."
This distinguished lecture is hosted by NSF's Directorate for STEM Education.
