Campus Conversations
Welcome to Campus Conversations 2023: Spring Series, an asynchronous book discussion by Dr. Tia Brown McNair, Estela Mara Bensimon, and Lindsey Malcom-Piqueux, From Equity Talk to Equity Walk Expanding Practitioner Knowledge for Racial Justice in Higher Education.

To prepare for her presentation, the CTLE has prepared some guided questions from selected book chapters. The event will explore ways in which student success can be boosted through a greater understanding of how to design and implement effective campus change strategies that establish a more expansive and equity-minded campus culture.
