Seventh Annual Yale Bouchet Conference
on Diversity in Graduate Education
Demystifying Diversity:
Uncovering and Exploring the Benefits of a
Truly Diverse and Inclusive
Higher Education Campus Community
Yale University,
Graduate School of Arts & Sciences
March 26-27, 2010
Are the traditional reasons for wanting to diversify the student body, staff, and faculty at institutions of higher education compelling and progressive enough to provide for stimulating and ongoing dialogue or have they begun to stagnate leaving us desensitized to the entire issue?
What doorways has institutional diversity’s growth from a simple ethical requirement, to a means for ensuring global competitiveness opened?
What is the role of higher education in promoting an understanding of, and deep appreciation for, human diversity, inclusivity, and the many positive implications for democratic societies?
Whether you are engaged in any discipline of research or teaching, or any of the many facets of administration, this conference is for you!
You won’t want to miss this extraordinary opportunity to join undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and administrators from across the country on March 26-27, 2010 at the Yale Graduate School campus, the oldest PhD granting institution in the country, and the alma mater of Dr. Edward A. Bouchet, the first African American ever to receive a PhD in North America. We want you to be a part of the many lively discussions on diversity and excellence in graduate education and to hear firsthand about the exciting research endeavors being conducted by students across the disciplines and across the United States of America.
Save the date and bring along a colleague. This distinguished event is sure to be informative, enlightening, thought-provoking, and fun.
