Proposal Deadline: November 25, 2016
The Next Ten Years - Success Through Leadership and Advocacy. A reaffirmation of our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in higher education.

NADOHE and its members remain a critical part of the infrastructure for strengthening and institutionalizing higher educations commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in the years ahead. It is imperative that we delineate and re-examine strategies, policies, programs, and initiatives that have contributed to the successful work of CDOs nationwide. What have we learned and how do we build on our successes to ensure that we can take our efforts to the next level? All institutional types and CDO organizational structures must be part of this important conversation. Lets work even more effectively together as an association to further our common goals to create and sustain genuinely inclusive colleges and universities.

NADOHE seeks presentations of up to eight 75-minute concurrent sessions (on March 14 and 15). Sessions can be based on theory and/or research, but presentations are strongly encouraged that have an applied/practitioner perspective, including examples or case studies that can inform the audience of practitioners. Proposals can be for a 75-minute session or for a 25-minute individual presentation. (Three related individual presentations may be joined to create a session.) Time for Q&A should be included in the allotted 75-minutes. Up to ten poster sessions will be selected for display during the networking breakfast on March 15th. Submissions may address the following broad topics:
  • Strategies to institutionalize diversity and inclusion efforts

  • Initiatives focused on capacity building for diversity and inclusion

  • Methods for developing cultural competence of faculty, staff and students

  • Assessment mechanisms for diversity work 

  • Curricular and course transformation 

  • Strategies to transform the campus environment and culture to foster success of underrepresented students, staff and faculty 

  • Strategies to leverage campus diversity to enhance student engagement and learning

  • How do we go beyond simply being diverse to utilizing that diversity maximally?

  • Embedding attention to multiple identities and intersectionality into diversity and inclusion initiatives 

  • Diversity and inclusion beyond race and ethnicity, for example, socioeconomic diversity, undocumented students, students with disabilities, LGBTQ students, and religious minorities

  • Strategies to increase faculty recruitment and retention 

  • Fundraising strategies to support diversity and inclusion
