  Higher education is no stranger to DEI programming. Yet, with a renewed focus on creating equitable and inclusive learning spaces, there may be misconceptions as to what DEI actually IS – and what it isn’t. Join us for a thirty-minute lunch and learn session to better understand how we define diversity, equity and inclusion and how we may integrate DEI into the work we do for students. Participants will come away from the session with a resource guide for further developing DEI initiatives.
• Broadbent Leadership Training – What is Power?
  Develop an understanding of power and social change, including practical approaches to campaigning and organizing. Learn how policies are set and decisions made, considering the change(s) you seek and who has the power to make them.
