This leadership workshop will feature:

- An introduction and overview of new Access & Diversity Collaborative resources, which have been developed for use in conjunction with higher education institution professional development activities and awareness building efforts. These materials include a number of important publications and two recently released videos that provide important guidance on issues of access and diversity on college campuses.
