Tamu Chambers, a professor in the History, Philosophy and Social Sciences Department, will present “Definition of Diversity for Community Colleges: Campus! Curriculum! Culture! Clubs!” during SUNY’s annual diversity conference Nov. 29 through Dec. 1 at the Albany Marriott.
Chambers also is a member of the planning committee for the 2017 conference, which is titled “Engaging Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity in the Classroom, Campus and Community: Celebrating a Decade of Transformational Diversity Leadership.”
Ainsley Thomas, chief diversity office, and Fabian Vegan, dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, also will represent Hudson Valley at the three-day conference.
SUNY is committed to building a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment for all by building an equity mindset and developing wide-reaching campus initiatives that encourage inclusivity and diminish bias and discrimination. Through speakers, presenters and workshops, the conference aims to continue the work toward change that includes the classroom, the campus and surrounding communities. Success often is the result of individuals taking small actions, which over time foster change.
The conference, sponsored by SUNY Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the University Faculty Senate and the Faculty Council of Community Colleges, is open to all faculty and staff. Please visit the conference website for more information and to register.
