Diversity, Learning, and Student Success:
Shifting Paradigms and Challenging Mindsets
A Network for Academic Renewal Conference
March 17-19, 2016
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Proposals due Wednesday, August 19, 2015
The Association of American Colleges and Universities is pleased to announce the Call for Proposals for AAC&U’s 2016 Conference on Diversity, Learning, and Student Success: Shifting Paradigms and Challenging Mindsets.
The conference is designed to advance a national conversation on the power of collaboration and community-building in identifying evidence-based strategies that advance high-quality learning environments. Embracing the complexities of our shared history, the conference aims to foster a robust discourse on the intersections of inclusion, diversity, equity, and learning for all. It will engage participants in “courageous conversations” that are problem-oriented and solution-driven—designed to expand our abilities to fully serve and prepare all students for lifelong success and engaged citizenship.
We invite proposals that showcase evidence-based practices that reflect any of the themes below, and that can be adapted readily to a wide range of institutional types, including community colleges and minority-serving institutions.
- Challenging Mindsets to Advance Diversity, High-Quality Learning, and Student Success
- Shifting Paradigms Across the Curriculum
- Emerging Innovations and the Campus Experience
- Developing Guided Learning Pathways to Enhance Student Success
AAC&U invites you to join with colleagues at this year’s conference to advance inclusion, diversity, equity, and learning for all.
