Equitable Recovery in Action: Becoming Antiracist, Student Ready Institutions 
April 20, May 18, June 15, and July 20, 2022
All webinars will be held from Noon - 1:00pm

The California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office invites you to join the Chancellor's Office Webinar Series: Equitable Recovery in Action: Becoming Antiracist, Student Ready Institutions launching February 16, 2022.
 
In the midst of ongoing economic recovery, the pandemic and pervasive inequities in achievement, the need to accelerate system-wide has become even more urgent.
 
In this six-part series of webinars, the Chancellor’s Office will highlight ongoing efforts across the system to adopt, customize and scale equity-advancing strategies, tools and resources to facilitate systemic change and cultivate a more equitable, inclusive and transformative teaching and learning ecosystem. Informed by the core commitments of the Vision for Success, these webinars will focus on a range of issues required to becoming antiracist, student ready institutions, including but not limited to:
  • Re-designing funding structures by integrating DEI into decision-making processes, allocations, and program review to drive equity-centered student success and support institutional fiscal health and resiliency.
  • Leveraging technical assistance and technological innovations to support students’ financial success to accelerate goal completion.
  • Designing strategic enrollment management policies and practices as a lever for system wide change in expanding access, outreach, retention and completion.

LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT WE DO
The California Regional Collaborative is a regional network of 2- and 4- year institutions, working together towards improving overall outcomes in STEM higher education, and in particular for students and faculty from underrepresented groups.

We work with graduate students and other potential “future faculty” from groups that are underrepresented in academia to address the need to increase diversity in our regional colleges to better reflect the diversity of our students. These trainees will support teaching efforts, education research initiatives, and curriculum development needs in collaboration with their 2- year internship site. In addition, regional programming such as webinars, symposiums, conferences, panels, and other events supports both current faculty along with future faculty. This will be coupled with an assessment plan to understand regional needs and assess the impact of our work.
The California Regional Collaborative is part of a network of collaboratives, national organizations, and initiatives participating in the NSF INCLUDES Aspire Alliance
