 Delivering on the Promise: Enhancing Structural Equity to Promote Justice for AllHigher education continues to uphold inherent biases that maintain advantages for some and produce disadvantages for others. Therefore, it is critical for diversity and institutional leaders to identify and implement effective strategies to strengthen structural equity on college and university campuses. Structural equity requires leaders to examine the institutional practices that manifest inequities across various campus communities.
While political and societal pressures threaten to hamper the progress of diversity officers and others committed to leading with equity, it is critically urgent for practitioners and academics alike to continue in their resolve to dismantle systemic barriers so that more students, faculty, and staff can find success in higher education and beyond. As such, it is vital for diversity professionals, as well as institutional leaders, to focus on implementing policies that advance anti-racism and cultivate racial equity.
This year’s NADOHE Conference highlighted the policies, programs, practices, and processes that should be examined and enacted in order to create lasting change on college campuses. Join NADOHE and your colleagues on April 12 - 15, 2023, in Baltimore for the 17th Annual Conference. The conference with take place at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel.

Conference TracksAcademic Diversity Officer Track - An ADO is similar to a CDO and has responsibility for prioritizing and executing DEI strategic plans and practices in specific academic units--disciplines, schools, departments, and colleges--rather than the entire campus. The ADO Track will focus on defining the ADO role, sharing the lived experiences, challenges, and opportunities of an ADO, exploring how their responsibilities are defined by the mission of their academic unit structure, leadership, and the CDO, and developing critical success factors and professional development that is needed for an ADO to succeed and advance in their career.
The Health Equity Track - provides an opportunity for Chief Diversity Officers and other Leaders advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice across health professions’ education in degree-granting institutions of higher learning and related organizations, to engage in robust conversations that facilitate sharing of best practices and strategies, leading to diverse cadres of health scientists and professionals dedicated to advancing health equity.
