Diversity in Higher Education & the Workplace Conference

#tcbdiversity

This is a time in higher education and the workplace of increasing competing interests, severe economic challenges, shifting and reframing institution’s policies, processes, culture, and climate. Additionally, demographic shifts and trends have resulted in a multicultural pool of  diverse students, faculty, and talent and will continue. The 3rd annual Diversity & Inclusion in Higher Education and the Workplace will address and examine what it takes to create sustainable pipelines, innovative curriculum, talent management, development, and retention, for the next decade to create transformational institutions and workplace communities of learning and teaching.
 
Benefits of attending:

• Share practices and policies to enable short and long-term outcomes for sustainable inclusion
• Benchmark linkages to drive adaptive change management within institutions and external partnerships
• Explore inclusive models to maximize results for leading and managing diversity and inclusion
• Re-imagine possibilities for ongoing innovation of curriculum, climate, and culture
• Understand the impact of the emerging majorities on campuses and in the workplace
