Dean’s Symposium:
Career Services’ Influence on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Higher Education
Oct. 14, 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. EST

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) are major issues being addressed at universities and workplaces nationwide. Career Service Centers are active both on campus and in the workplace, and serve as a bridge between these spaces, while connecting students with employers. As DE&I becomes a focus everywhere, we’ll examine what impact career services might have on higher education curricula. We’ll also ask if higher education is overlooking an important voice in the mission for student success beyond graduation.
Our panel of experts from Stevenson University, University of Maryland Global Campus, George Mason University, Johns Hopkins University, and American University will address these topics and discuss career services’ influence on DE&I in higher education.
