Noon – 1 p.m., Oct. 27, 2023

Join us for an engaging session, "Recognizing the Invisible Labor - Women of Color in Higher Education" presented by Raquel Hernández Givens, PhD on Friday, October 27th, 2023 from 12pm-1pm Arizona Time.

Raquel Hernández Givens, PhD, higher education researcher and advocate, as we delve into the often overlooked contributions made by women of color in higher education. Drawing from recent research, the discussion will spotlight the emotional labor these women tirelessly contribute in support of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) missions. This is the unseen force that drives institutions forward.

Key Takeaways:

  • Uncover the unrecognized emotional efforts women of color invest in their higher education institutions.
  • Understand the importance and impact of their contributions critical to many DEI successes, yet often overshadowed.
  • Explore actionable recommendations tailored for women in higher education, ensuring they are supported, acknowledged and celebrated.

Diversity is the heart of progress, but only when every contributor, visible or invisible, is recognized. Let’s come together, uplift each other, and learn how we can do more to champion their cause.
