2022 Summer Equity Institute

Held June 7-9, the 2022 Summer Equity Institute drew close to 150 members of the College community, as stakeholders at the College ranging from staff, administrators, and faculty came together to address the important question, “What does equity, diversity, and inclusion mean at CCP?” Plenary sessions on the three days comprised of invited guest speakers Dr. Shaunna Payne Gold, Gold Enterprises, LLC, Dr. Jillian Kinzie, Interim Co-Director, NSSE, and Mr. Jonathan Iuzzini, Director of Teaching and Learning, Achieving the Dream. These plenary sessions were followed by concurrent sessions presented by CCP faculty and administrators. Each day, participants were given opportunities to share ideas, best practices, and challenges to address the equity gaps in our students’ learning and the consequences of not addressing the equity gaps. In the afternoon sessions, administrators, staff, and faculty came together and discussed ways to mitigate equity gaps, promoting student success, and strengthen a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion at CCP. Discussions ranged from using disaggregated data to inform us about modifying “legacy practices” at the institution, to how support services professionals can ensure all students are being served, to adopting teaching practices that would lead to culturally responsive teaching, and more. We are excited to announce that all employees will have the opportunity to engage in sustained work in this area by way of a tiered compensation framework which will be introduced during fall Professional Development Week. Until then, we invite you to watch the recordings of the sessions and to continue to have conversations with colleagues and to reflect on your role in this critical aspect of CCP’s mission.
