Dorinda Carter Andrews

Date and Time

Wednesday, November 1, 2017 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Description

This learning opportunity will help higher education professionals recognize the unconscious beliefs that get in the way of best serving students.

Participants will better understand the role of staff and faculty in creating the conditions for success for ALL students (centering underrepresented and marginalized students), be able identify individual behaviors that get in the way of serving students the best way possible, and recognize the University as a “system” while identifying ways to dismantle barriers to student success.
