About this Event
This Symposium will bring together the Five College Consortium as well as approximately 25 other colleges/universities in the Northeast.
IGD students, educators, scholars, and practitioners are invited to reflect on IGD’s past, present, and future role in creating change within higher educational institutions.
Events include a film featuring some of the founders and early adopters of IGD, Dr. Barbara Love moderating a “Launching Leadership” style conversation with Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum and Dr. Ximena Zúñiga, and concurrent sessions on pedagogical innovations and future consideration for IGD.
Event Contacts: Kristie Ford, Presidential Fellow and incoming Professor in the Sociology and Critical Race & Political Economy Departments and Marcella Runell, Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students.
