Understanding Campus Climate: Ongoing Challenges and (Post)Pandemic Priorities
June 16-17, 2021 – Online
SERU universities in the US and internationally are committed to promoting inclusion through sustaining a positive campus climate. SERU/USUES and gradSERU survey data support universities in their efforts to identify challenges and inform initiatives aimed at improving diversity, equity and inclusion in undergraduate and graduate education. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, minoritized and marginalized student populations have been disproportionately affected by campus closures. The pandemic has exacerbated existing disparities and has drastically undermined universities’ plans to promote an inclusive campus climate.
2021 SERU Research Symposium provided a venue to track progress and barriers in the development of a healthy campus climate for inclusion at research-intensive universities in the (post)pandemic era. The symposium included pre-recorded presentations and live virtual sessions on June 16 and 17, 2021 with Q&A and panel discussions with presenters.
