LEAD, Leading Equity And Diversity, is a series of conversations where attendees have the opportunity to hear from a diverse group of guests who lead and/or support DEI and social justice initiatives. Collaboration is the crux of progress, and higher education is no exception to this axiom. This month, the LEAD series will discuss what an equitable partnership between Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other institution types could include. All institutions have unique demographics and histories that shape how they develop policy and act to address issues of racial inequity on their campuses and in their communities. Featured guests will discuss examples of how to form partnerships, respect the strengths and experiences that all parties bring to the conversation, and how to engender trust between institutions that may have faced turbulent relationships in the past. Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART) captioning services will be available.
