Workshop Description

The Inclusive VT Summit 2022 (formerly the Diversity Summit) is an annual InclusiveVT Touchpoint event that brings together diversity and inclusion stakeholders across the university so that we may prepare for the upcoming academic year.

Our keynote speaker, Paulette Granberry Russell, President of NADOHE, (National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education) will lead us in a conversation on the state of diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education.
