Provost’s Listening Tour
Provost Donna Arnett is conducting a campus-wide listening tour this semester and will be meeting with Arts and Sciences faculty and staff on November 10 and 14.

Equity and Inclusion Summit
November 9 – 11
All faculty and staff are invited to attend the 5th Annual Equity and Inclusion Summit:
Environmental Justice: Designing for Spatial Dignity
This year we are focused on spatial dignity, the practice of consciously creating environments of respect and inclusion. It values the needs and well-being of each person in all spaces and interactions, regardless of ability or social position. Summit participants will gain concrete tools to incorporate spatial dignity into their communities and develop new practices for the benefit of all.
