Held Monday – Friday, February 28 – March 4, 2022

MSU has a Diversity and Inclusion Framework that includes goals around ensuring access to equitable educational experiences, fostering welcoming learning environments, and implementing professional development opportunities around diversity and inclusion.

This series of presentations was created so that faculty and staff could share their inclusive practices with a broad audience. Some of the participants received grants from their college to pursue their ideas and others were nominated by their college to share their work. We wanted to have a broad range of applications and colleges to share many different ideas and contexts for inclusive practices.

A diverse and inclusive educational environment leads to better outcomes in   • Learning – creating a sense of belonging helps all students to achieve their highest potential, • Research endeavors – leading to more innovative research questions and solutions, and • Outreach – leading to greater community engagement.

Each one-hour session consisted of three 5-min presentations followed by live questions and discussion.
