For this year’s Engaging Communities event, we are very pleased to offer opportunities for faculty, staff and students to experience two highly accomplished individuals; one to engage our minds and help us focus our work and the other to engage our spirit and sense of connection.

Dr. Clayton-Pedersen is currently Vice President of Emeritus Consulting Group out of Chicago, and will share her observations and insights from her many years of leadership in improving the climate for diversity in higher education.
