We have had an outstanding group of Diversity fellows! They have taught (face-to-face and online), contribute to their departments, work with students, and completed (or nearly completed) their dissertations within the year. In this Zoom salon, each of them will give us a glimpse to their research and their future. Please join us Monday April 27th, 2020, 4:00-5:30 p.m. In this research showcase to hear about their work, their plans, and honor their contributions to Ithaca College.
