from strategic organizational change efforts
to create inclusive, multicultural campus
communities. Come participate in this highly

basic types of assessment projects, how to get

Incidents
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
Location: Baltimore Convention Center, 341
Program Presenter: Ruta Shah-Gordon,
Wagner College
Additional Presenters: Jeffrey Landry,
Hamilton College; Sofia Bautista Pertuz,
Fordham University
A serious issue plaguing United States
campuses are bias incidents and hate crimes.
Understanding the climate that may have fostered
the incidents and developing a proper
response are key to rebuilding the campus
community to create healing and learning.
Students perceive campus environments as
tight-knit, so when bias incidents occur,
word spreads fast, impact is great, and students
feel unsettled and fearful. This program
uses incidents at three campuses to discuss
policies, procedures, and comprehensive
community responses to bias incidents.
