Beyond Articulation Agreements: The Role of Transfer in the National Pursuit of Equitable Student Success
Dr. LaViolet’s presentation will frame the national transfer landscape using the research of the Transfer Playbook and discuss how NYSTAA members’ individual work impacts equity and bachelor degree attainment. She’ll help us move beyond articulation agreements and envision a clear pathway of transfer student success.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: Where Your Deep Passion Meets the World’s Hunger…to be Valued!
This presentation will explain the differences and unique strategies for diversity, equity and inclusion; understanding the evolution of hate; how to interrupt unconscious bias, and patience in active and objective listening. As an outcome, you will become self-aware of your thoughts and actions, and acknowledge that we are all life-learners and this is a journey to being the best version of yourself.
