An Equity Lens During COVID-19

Fulfilling the Mission of Higher Ed During COVID-19 & Beyond
December 14, 2020
Zoom Webinar

A National Roundtable Discussion Focused on Action

Join us to get re-energized by a community of practice facing the same challenges as you. 

At this unique moment in history, with the pandemic disrupting universities’ operating models, and record unemployment, higher education leaders have been forced to grapple with difficult questions about their current and future role in society.

The First-Generation, Lower Income Consortium (FGLI) and Mentor Collective are bringing together senior educators during a virtual roundtable focused on developing actionable strategies to adopt in a new era of higher education. 

We recognize that universities face unprecedented disruption, significant uncertainty, and increased skepticism toward college value. Strategies for student engagement are continually shifting, forcing institutions to confront further inclusion and equity gaps and build a student community in a world of more physical distancing.
