Summary of K-12, Higher Ed. and Global Classroom Sessions from the GlobalMindED 2022 Conference


The GlobalMindED Conference was full of transformative, activating conversations with incredible leaders across various sectors. Over three days we all gathered to share in our learning and personal development. To those who were unable to attend, we will be sharing the titles of sessions from various sectors represented at the Conference.

Education was a major sector represented throughout the Conference. Leaders in higher education, university presidents, K-12 schools; principals and superintendents, non-profits, government, and students themselves shared ideas on how to create more inclusive classrooms to support ALL learners. Attendees could listen to sessions for various tiers of education. Present in the sessions were inspiring leaders such as Dr. Katy Anthes (Commissioner of Colorado Department of Education), Dr. Miles Davis (President, Linfield University), Ron Lessard (White House Initiative on Native American Affairs), Dr. Loretta Ovueraye (Vice Provost Miami Dade College), Ahrash Bissell (President, NROC), Dr. Angie Paccione (E.D. Colorado Dept. of Higher Ed), Dr. Michael Torrence (President, Motlow State University), Olivia Fleming (Co-Founder, OneHE), Dr. Lanze Thompson (EVP, Clark Atlanta University), Dr. Jeanne Holmes (Adjunct Professor, NC Central University), Dr. Melissa Vito (Vice Provost, University of Texas, San Antonio), Dr. Cheryl Crazy Bull (President, American Indian College Fund), Dr. Martha Diede (Director, Syracuse University), and so many more.
