Bringing together students\, faculty\, and staff\, the Teach-In creates opportunities to explore how educational equity shapes teaching\, learning\, research\, and practice across disciplines\, including technology\, healthcare\, engineering\, business\, the arts\, and beyond.A defining characteristic of the \;GVSU Teach-In \;is its commitment to shared learning across roles\, identities\, disciplines\, and lived experiences. We encourage presentations that pair students with faculty and staff\, reflecting the belief that advancing educational equity requires the knowledge\, perspectives\, and experiences of the entire university community. Knowledge is not held exclusively by any one group\; rather\, it is strengthened through dialogue\, reflection\, practice\, and application.This collaborative approach reinforces the \;GVSU Teach-In \;as a space where\:Educational equity is a shared responsibility across the university.Learning is reciprocal and informed by multiple perspectives and lived experiences.Multiple forms of knowledge are valued in identifying and reducing barriers to equity.Participants are invited not only to deepen their understanding but also to translate learning into actions.

Faculty\, staff and students will reflect on their experiences and examine how campus cultures\, practices\, and structures shape how students experience belonging\, engagement\, and achievement. Through discussion and reflection\, attendees will gain an understanding of the key features of ecological validation and why it is essential to creating environments where all students can thrive. Together\, participants will identify both the assets and barriers that influence the development of a culture of ecological validation at GVSU. The session will conclude by challenging attendees to consider their roles in advancing this work and to articulate concrete ways they can contribute to building and sustaining a campus culture that recognizes\, affirms\, and supports the strengths\, experiences\, and potential of all students.\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes - Participants will be able to\:\n\n\n\n\n\n Relate their personal experiences to the ways in which campus cultures and structures inform student learning\, development\, and success.\n\n Describe the key features of ecological validation and how it contributes to student learning\, development\, and success.\n\n Identify assets and barriers to creating a culture of ecological validation at GVSU.\n\n Articulate ways they can contribute to building and sustaining a culture of ecological validation at GVSU.\n\n SUMMARY:Teach-In Keynote Speaker\: Dr. Rosie Perez PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261111T090000 DTEND:20261111T205000 DESCRIPTION:The GVSU Teach-In\: Lifelong Learning toward Educational Equity and Action \;is a campus-wide\, student-centered learning experience dedicated to advancing educational equity across the university.

Bring your questions and your curiosity. There are many fellowship opportunities to explore.Fellowship opportunities fall under three major headings\:Study Abroad\: \;Undergraduate support for study abroad programs administered by Grand Valley.Undergraduate Opportunities\: Summer seminars and internships in the U.S. and beyond\, immersive\, fully-funded intensive language study not connected with Grand Valley (the Critical Languages Scholarship program)\, research at major federal labs in the U.S.\, and international research (DAAD-RISE for STEM research in Germany).Graduate/Post Commencement Opportunities\: \;Support for graduate school in specific countries\, at specific universities or in particular fields\, prestigious internships in peace and security\, nonprofit administration\, public policy\, urban planning\, social justice\, human rights\, and more\, and high-impact gap-year experiences like Peace Corps\, City Year\, JET (teaching English in Japan)\, NALCAP (teaching English in Spain)\, TAPIF (teaching English in France)\, and the Fulbright U.S. Student ETA and S/R programs.For much more information\, visit the GVSU Fellowships website.
