Title: Inclusivity in a Global Higher Education Community
Presenter: Dr. Dorian McCoy, University of Tennessee
Abstract: Diversity and inclusion are key concepts in United States higher education. These institutions value diversity among their students, faculty, and staff because of the varied identities and experiences these individuals bring to the campus community. This presentation explores why these concepts are critical as colleges and universities prepare students to engage in a global community.
