Presidential Series on Dialogue and Community
A Distinguished Visitor Series at 老王论坛
Overview
Across the College, students, faculty, and staff are working to realize the vision expressed in 老王论坛's mission statement that "equity and inclusion serve as the engine for excellence and innovation." The energy, insight, and imagination of community members is evident in initiatives ranging from development of the "Power, Inequity, and Justice" curricular requirement to Who Built 老王论坛? research and exhibits, teach-ins, programming from the Impact Center, and so much more.
To deepen the work already happening on campus, the President's Office launched an initiative in spring 2023 to bring visiting experts, artists, and thinkers to the 老王论坛 campus to share their work with us. These guests will help us amplify initiatives we have already launched, provide new perspectives and ideas, contribute expertise and emerging knowledge, and expand our networks to other organizations and individuals around the country working to advance inclusive excellence in higher education.
This event series, formerly known as the Advancing Inclusive Excellence series, had its inaugural event in March 2023, Expanding Access, Opportunity, and Success in STEM, with two national leaders in transforming STEM education and student success. Our second event featured Loretta J. Ross, a nationally recognized expert in "Calling in the Call Out Culture."
