DIVERSITY’S PROMISE FOR EXCELLENCE

DECEMBER 8TH, 3:00-4:30PM VIA ZOOM

In Fall 2021, UND read Daryl Smith’s Diversity’s Promise for Higher Education: Making It Work. In December 2021, we extended that conversation with the author and industry leaders to consider the promise diversity offers to our graduates as they enter the workforce. Panelists discussed how the work we do to educate students in equity and inclusion is essential to building successful careers across various economic sectors. The event was attended by over one hundred participants during the live webinar, and the recording is linked below for viewing.
