2024 Conference: Defending Equity

Thanks to the over 120 enrollment leaders, researchers and education colleagues who gathered together in Los Angeles from February 20-22 for CERPP Conference 2024: Defending Equity.

Starting from the announcement of our CERPP’s new executive director, Dr. Julie Posselt, to her opening keynote speech on Democratic Merit in a Polarized Society, we had meaningful discussions on how higher education institutions can remain committed to access, diversity and inclusion in the face of uncertainty and challenges. 

In Dr. John B. King’s words: “There’s plenty to we can do to make campuses diverse, ethnically and racially and socially and geographically and economically…It’s just hard, that’s all.”  

Participants came away with greater knowledge and hopefully refreshed and recharged to do this hard work collectively. From understanding the legal ramifications of the SFFA decision, to its implications at institutions from the practitioner perspective, we learned of the myriad ways in which we all are keeping and can continue to advance equity at the forefront of our work.
