Please join us to learn about three new national initiatives we are joining as a College to enact our commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

• Horizons: Horizons provides a six-week, project-based summer academic and enrichment program as well as academic year programming for students from underserved communities. Students are selected in kindergarten and remain in the program through high school.
• Holmes Scholars: The Holmes Scholars Program supports students pursuing graduate degrees in education who self-identify as racially and ethnically diverse. The program provides mentorship, peer support, and professional development opportunities.
• Call Me Mister®: Call Me Mister® recruits and supports individuals from underserved, socio-economically disadvantaged and educationally at-risk communities on their journey to becoming teachers. The program includes tuition assistance, an academic support system, a cohort support system, and job placement assistance.

Marian Higgins, associate dean for diversity, equity, and inclusion, and Dean Denise Spangler will briefly describe each program and the opportunities for faculty, staff, and student engagement and leadership.
