The Illinois State University Office of Equity and Inclusion is proud to launch a new program for the ISU community called “ISU in Conversation.” These open forums will give Redbird faculty, staff, and students the opportunity to discuss themes relevant to campus and to share concerns and suggestions with peers and ISU leadership.
Sessions will be hosted by Interim Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer Dr. Byron B Craig:
“This series offers opportunities for students, faculty, and staff to get a sense of how important they are to this campus and the mission of Equity, Diversity, Access, and Belonging (EDAB). I look forward to having these conversations to help continue building a sense of community at Illinois State University. Participants can expect an inclusive conversation that allows many voices to be heard.”
