Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the University Advisory Council on Diversity and the Conference Planning Committee, I am pleased to announce that registration is now open for the fifth biennial Faculty Diversity and Inclusion Conference. This two-day virtual event is Thursday, April 15 and Friday, April 16, 2021 and the theme is The Power of An Antiracist Academy: Reimagining Systems & Structures.

Building on the success of past years, this conference offers faculty and academic administrators the opportunity to focus on research-based evidence, present new ideas, discuss experiences with colleagues and develop constructive actions for change in the belief that diversity in all its manifestations is a driver of our collective success.

This is our biggest conference ever, with a total of 63 concurrent sessions, presented by faculty, staff, and students. The conference also demonstrates the power of knowledge creation at CUNY, and so I encourage you to look at the many options and complete your registration today.

Best regards,

Doriane K. Gloria

Vice Chancellor, Office of Human Resources Management
