Abstract:
Participants will hear findings from research on faculty and diversity education and discuss how these findings could be used to improve how diversity contributes to student learning.
Through a presentation of findings from a new "diverse perspectives" section on the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE), participants in this session will learn about how faculty perceive diversity offerings on campus, how much they encourage students to participate in diversity activities, and how much they include diversity content in their courses. Further, participants will gain an understanding of how these diversity indicators relate to one
another and what predicts them. Session facilitators and participants will work together to create plans for making change in areas they know that they can influence (e.g., their courses, departments, or programs).
