Overview
A recent AAC&U survey found that nearly half of higher education professionals believe that recognizing and overcoming persistent inequities is among the most significant challenges facing colleges and universities and that building capacity for institutional transformation is also a significant challenge. Speaking directly to these identified needs, the theme of the 2022 Conference on Diversity, Equity, and Student Success sends a clear message about the work ahead: it will take more than just words to overcome these challenges.
AAC&U invites you to join them for a conference that will go beyond the rhetoric and prioritize campus strategies, institutional culture, and accountability in operationalizing the values of equity and diversity. Conference sessions will explore the experiences of institutional and community participants, identify barriers that are hindering our progress, and promote discussion of the privileges, the biases, and the false belief in a hierarchy of human value that are embedded in our systems, structures, and policies. It is imperative that we stay focused on making progress towards transformation that can be achieved and sustained, and the efforts that represent more than just our words.
A Hybrid Meeting
AAC&U is looking forward to gathering in person for the 2022 Conference on Diversity, Equity, and Student Success. While they hope to see many of you in New Orleans, they will also offer a virtual component for those unable to join in person. The virtual offerings during the in-person conference include at least one virtual concurrent session during each in-person concurrent session time band. All plenary sessions will be livestreamed and accessible to virtual conference registrants. All conference participants will be able to view recordings of the virtual concurrent sessions after the conference.
Since the conference will be a hybrid event, you will be given the option of selecting between the in-person and virtual formats during registration.
