This is a past event.

Presenters: Laurie Usher, Dr. Tracey Sheets

This workshop provides participants with the opportunity to expand their knowledge on how to improve the racial landscape of universities by implementing racial-conscious ideology within policy changes and classroom practices. Personal development in the areas of admissions and academics and the connection between the two areas is highlighted in this workshop. Participants will be able to: Recognize why and how universities should develop an antiracist identity. Understand how admissions can create policies and programs that support diversity. Utilize counter-storytelling as means for marginalized groups to be heard and challenge stories told by the dominant group. Create a cultural lens in the classroom by diversifying examples and assignments. Engage in critically compassionate intellectualism (CCI) related to pedagogy, authentic caring, and a racial-conscious environment.
