This Fall, the Teaching Transformation and Development Academy (TTaDA) will be leading a campus-wide faculty, staff, administrator and GTA book study on How to be an Antiracist by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi. Praised by the New York Times as “The most courageous book to date on the problem of race in the Western mind,” Kendi’s groundbreaking work provides an essential counterpoint in the national conversation about race and resonates in this collective moment of reckoning. The term Kendi introduces—being an anti-racist—sets forth the idea that people can either be racist or anti-racist, and that there is no in-between. Racists, he argues, are people who support racist policies through their actions, inactions or ideas; anti-racists actively confront racial inequalities. Being neutral isn’t enough. Dr. Kendi urges us to actively combat racist systems and policies, and provides tools to do so. We hope you will join us for this important conversation.
We will begin the book study with a large virtual meeting over Zoom, then break into smaller groups (15-20 participants) over Zoom to encompass the whole book, 4-5 chapters at a time and end with a final virtual discussion and wrap up.Dr. Kendi is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities and the Founding Director of the Boston University Center for Antiracist Research as well as a the recipient of the National Book Award (in 2016 for Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America), a #1 New York Times bestselling author, a contributor at The Atlantic and a CBS News correspondent.
A complete schedule and registration information can be found on the UND Events Calendar.

Webinar: Mental Health 101 for Non-Clinical Higher Education Professionals
We know that our students are experiencing higher levels of stress than they have ever before. In an effort to be sure we are supporting them as best we can, we wanted to provide a workshop on mental health that will help us understand when students may need a referral for clinical services (e.g., Counseling Center, Psychological Services Center, Student Health). Non-clinical professionals will gain a strong foundational knowledge of mental health concerns in this 2-part workshop. We will review common mental health diagnoses and warning signs and high-risk behaviors such as substance abuse, non-suicidal self-injury, and suicide.
Please join us for a 2-part webinar provided by Innovative Educators and sponsored by Student Academic Success and Career Engagement and Vice President for Academic Affairs with coordinating support by the Teaching Transformation and Development Academy. We encourage anyone working with students to participate, including faculty, staff, advisors, tutors, RAs, TAs, etc. If you have any questions, please contact karyn.plumm@und.edu.

Katie Linder Session Recording
Session Materials
The concept of High-Impact Educational Practices (HIPs) has been around for years, but the conversation about transitioning HIPs to online and blended/hybrid environments is just getting started. In this interactive workshop, Dr. Katie Linder, a co-editor of High-Impact Practices in Online Education, led participants through the creation of an HIP implementation action plan that is applicable in face-to-face, blended/hybrid, and online classrooms. Participants learned more about the state of the research for HIPs, had the opportunity to discuss tips and strategies for incorporating various HIPs across modalities, and left with an actionable plan for implementing one or more HIPs into a modality of their choice. For those who were unable to attend the session the recording and materials are provided.
