Join us for a discussion led by Elizabeth Brand Cox on the Rural Community College Consortium and the Oregon Community College Association’s (OCCA) support for rural colleges. This webinar will feature two consortium members sharing their approaches to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) on campus—one from an official DEI role and one offering valuable perspectives without a dedicated DEI position. This session will provide actionable insights for colleges with formal DEI programs and those just beginning. Participants can expect real-world examples of DEI initiatives, answers to prepared questions, and a Q&A session to address specific needs.
