Black Student Persistence & Success: Create Long-Term, Institution-Wide & Systemic Change – On-Demand Training
|
| Overview |
|
Many institutions are grappling with institutionalized policies and practices being unintentionally harmful or disproportionately impactful to Black students. The challenges of COVID-19 and current racial unrest in communities have brought this reality to the forefront of professionals’ minds. Building a robust culture of equity and inclusion not only improves a sense of belonging and engagement, but also recruitment and retention.
How can you put long-term, institution-wide and systemic changes in place to best support Black student persistence and success on your campus?
Get actionable takeaways so you can best support Black students in an authentic and culture-changing way by working intentionally to dismantle the systemic racism that has plagued us for over 400 years.
This is a critical time for institutions to take inventory of their institutionalized policies and practices, which are harmful and/or disproportionately impactful to Black students. You’ll be better able to ensure equity and equality are at the center of all decisions, processes and systems in place.
