Lawrence’s inaugural diversity conference — “Teaching All Students Well: Preparing an Educated Citizenry for Wise Participation in a Diverse Democracy” — will be held Aug. 17-18 on the Lawrence campus.
The conference is organized by Kimberly Barrett, vice president for diversity and inclusion and associate dean of the faculty, and the professional development committee of the President’s Committee on Diversity Affairs.
The conference is designed to help all educators strengthen their individual learning communities through effective and inclusive teaching methods.
Highlighting the conference will be a keynote address by multicultural scholar Derald Wing Sue, professor of psychology and education in the department of counseling and clinical psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University.

Guilberly Louissaint ’17 and Max Loebl ’17 will present on activism & social change on May 26 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Warch Campus Center’s Esch Hurvis Room.
Student activism has become interwoven with our campus culture. It has taken different forms, such as protesting, workshops or even the creation of healing circles. It is imperative more than ever to be more strategic with student organizing. Communication and solid leadership are key components in creating successful outcomes during times of turmoil. Guil & Max will explore effective forms of activism, through student engagement, goal setting, impact analysis and personal experience.
The Cultural Competency Lecture Series at Lawrence features our faculty, students and staff sharing their expertise related to the knowledge and skills necessary to take a culturally competent, equity-minded approach to the work and learning in which they are engaged. Bring your lunch and learn!
