The New DEI: Prospects for International Services

Tuesday, October 22, 2024
8:00 AM – 8:50 AM PDT
Location: Salon II
Presentation Description: In this session we will discuss potential reorientations in diversity, inclusion and equity (DEI) strategies as they relate to offices that support international students and scholars. Given successes but also challenges facing the broader DEI landscape, what new goals and objectives can international units pursue in relation to DEI? This session will present an argument and agenda for strategic reorientation, while giving opportunities to participants to discuss, compare and reflect on existing practices and approaches.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, attendees will be able to articulate current DEI strategies and objectives that inform and influence their units' effots to serve international student and scholars.
  • Upon completion, attendees will be able to identify 2-3 potential opportunities to reorient and improve the connection of DEI to international students and scholars on their campuses.
  • Upon completion, attendees will be able to identify resources for continued discussion and networking around DEI for international students and scholars.
