Tuesday, July 23, 2024
10:30 AM – 12:00 PM East Coast USA Time
Location: Hynes: 312
CE: 1.50

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
  • Develop actionable strategies to advance racial equity in higher education, emphasizing their impact on mentorship dynamics and institutional norms.
  • Outline inclusive mentoring approaches that surpass traditional models, creating a supportive and culturally aware environment for faculty of color.
  • Analyze strategies that can be implemented at your institution to provide a supportive and inclusive mentoring environment.
  • Describe the role of institutional policies and practices play in supporting mentorship for faculty of color.
  • Strategize approaches to enhance inclusivity in leadership positions within higher education, underscoring the significance of diverse representation in decision-making roles.
Minoritized faculty, especially those of color, often find themselves clustered in non-tenure and pre-tenure positions, contrasting starkly with the prevalence of White faculty members, particularly in secure, tenured roles. This systemic disparity poses a significant obstacle for mid-career faculty of color, hindering their advancement into prominent professional positions. To address this issue, fostering an inclusive atmosphere that fosters the growth and advancement of faculty members of color is imperative. This strategy is crucial for dismantling barriers and fostering diversity, equity and inclusion in leadership within the realm of higher education.
