Description:
Members of the AAG Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) Committee will introduce the JEDI strategic plan framework and provide an update on the implementation process.
Session attendees will then engage in a roundtable discussion about the roles of departments in contributing to the JEDI mission. Conversations will identify: 1) efforts already under way to promote JEDI within departments, 2) helpful resources the AAG and JEDI Committee could offer departments to help them advance their own JEDI goals, and 3) opportunities for collaboration between departments and the AAG’s JEDI Committee. Ideas and observations shared with committee members may be brought back into the JEDI strategic plan implementation by AAG and the committee.
All are welcome to engage in the conversation, but we especially encourage participation by faculty and students serving leadership roles within their departments.
