Center for Urban Education

We are proud to announce the first ever Institute for Equity in Faculty Hiring at Community Colleges, hosted by the USC Center for Urban Education, on September 28 - 29, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.

This institute is tailored for California Community Colleges and institutions of higher learning committed to faculty diversity and integrating a practice of equity-mindedness among practitioners on your campus. Participants will walk away with a set of practices and processes on how to embed equity-mindedness into your faculty hiring process.

California’s community colleges are poised to hire an unprecedented number of faculty members over the course of the next two academic years. These hiring decisions will have an impact on student success, campus culture, and should reflect the demographic changes occurring across California.

Attendance at this year’s institute will be open to 20 campus teams on a first-come, first serve basis. Each campus team can bring up to 10 members. The cost is $8000 per campus team and you will receive an invoice after registration. We are negotiating a discounted hotel rate as well. You will receive hotel information after completing the registration form.
