Throughout this series of panel discussions, participants will have the opportunity to hear from and interact with a diverse group of people who lead diversity initiatives (this will include administrators, staff, students, and faculty, as well as others who work in the community). Each panel guest will speak about their own journey around DEI and how it has impacted their work and fueled their passion. They will also share information on their current diversity initiatives. Participants will have the chance to then engage in dialogue with panelists.
