Throughout the year, you will hear from leaders and participate in sessions that will help you understand the university as dynamic and inclusive, and to help you build awareness of the diverse, complex, and changing landscape of higher education while exploring your role in it. In addition, you will build community with your campus and cross-campus colleagues through formal and informal opportunities.
