Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Using Technology to Bridge Connections
Thank you for your interest in the 13th Annual UA System Scholars Institute, which was a 2020 summer series of online events focusing on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Using Technology to Bridge Connections.
The Scholars Institute fosters a shared community of knowledge among members of the three UA System campuses. The online series included live presentations, panel discussions, Q&As and other ways to discuss current challenges and opportunities in the use of technology in teaching and learning. Presentations will align with the institute theme, “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Using Technology to Bridge Connections” and explore some aspect of technology’s role in teaching, research, and service.
