The purpose of this conference is to provide Student Affairs professionals in the southern New England region with an opportunity to network with one another and to share information they can take back to their respective campuses. Designed especially for professionals working in Diversity/Multicultural Affairs - as well as individuals with an interest in this function area - this one day conference seeks to focus on the following key areas related to working with underrepresented students: coalition-building on campus an in the community; recruitment and persistence best practices and trends; educational social programming; protocols and policies for bias-related incidents; and assessment of campus climate. As a way of framing the days conversations, founding faculty from the Social Justice Training Institute will introduce the Multicultural Organization Development (MCOD) Stage Model.
