History of the Teach-In

The idea of holding a teach-in in 2014 was motivated by the desire to improve equity and inclusion on our campus based on the 2011 Campus Climate Study and ongoing concerns through campus climate reporting. These realities underscored the urgent need for the faculty, staff and students to work together to create a more inclusive and equitable campus where all can thrive. The Teach-In was so well-received that the University Academic Senate and Student Senate voted unanimously to support continuing this yearly event.
