AAC&U Diversity, Equity, and Student Success
"AAC&U invites you to join us for a conference that will go beyond the rhetoric and prioritize campus strategies, institutional culture, and accountability in operationalizing the values of equity and diversity. Conference sessions will explore the experiences of institutional and community participants, identify barriers that are hindering our progress, and promote discussion of the privileges, the biases, and the false belief in a hierarchy of human value that are embedded in our systems, structures, and policies. It is imperative that we stay focused on making progress towards transformation that can be achieved and sustained, and the efforts that represent more than just our words." The 2022 Conference on Diversity, Equity, and Student Success will be held March 17-19, 2022, at the New Orleans Marriott in New Orleans, Louisiana.
