Community, Connections, and Student Success

Guest: Dr. Ereka Williams

Our identities connect us to a vast webwork of community which informs our perspectives and our relationships. By minding these connections to our communities, we can create spaces for fellow community members in higher ed decision-making. Learn ways that higher ed leaders and faculty can come together to support the communities we share, and learn strategies to inculcate democratic values in higher ed to promote the shared success of every stakeholder.

This episode explores:

• The values and beliefs within our communities that underlie ideas and solutions
• Why centering language and culture is essential to supporting our communities
•  The importance of looking at the data that drives decision-making through a human lens
• Community-centric methods to positively impact student outcomes, in the classroom and beyond
