Dear Campus Community,
University of Southern California scholar and organizational change expert, Adrianna Kezar, will speak at the Institute for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion on Tuesday, September 17. The Institute, hosted by the Office of Inclusive Excellence, approaches its 13th year as a signature forum to engage UCI students, faculty, and staff about topics related to supporting equity and diversity, practicing inclusion, and honoring free speech.
The Institute is scheduled 9:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. in the Yosemite Ballroom (Rooms 2070-2090) at Continuing Education Building I. This year’s theme is “A Call to Action for Inclusion,” and Provost Enrique Lavernia will open the day with remarks. Participants also will engage in common planning for inclusive excellence activities as part of action groups.
