A campus of inclusiveness and diversity. It’s what all community colleges hope to be. However, improving the diversity of our faculty and improving faculty cultural awareness can be challenging.

This daylong event (one in the north and one in the south) features presenters from the Chancellor’s office and the Association of Chief Human Resources Officers; breakouts on many topics related to encouraging diversity and cultural competency among faculty; and a dynamic presentation from Dr. Veronica Neal, DeAnza College Equity Coordinator. Join us and take away tested and effective strategies for improving your campus efforts to create inclusive spaces for all.
