Dr. Derald Wing SUe, Keynote and Book club author

Our symposium will consider strategies, challenges, and best practices for addressing the needs of the most vulnerable in higher- learning environments in the midst of crisis, as well as ideas for keeping issues of diversity & inclusion at the forefront of research and teaching agendas in an increasingly virtual world.
Date and Time: Thursday, and Friday, September 17 & 18, 2020
Location: Conducted Virtually via Zoom
*Registration IS NOW CLOSED
**Please note: you may register for the entire event, or only the portions for which you are available to attend.
