Thrilled to share this powerful op-ed from Nathan Long, Ed.D., Saybrook University president. He underscores the significance of these discussions for the next generation of leaders, professionals, and citizens, stressing that DEI is not just “nice to have”, but a fundamental aspect of higher learning. He calls on institutions, like Saybrook, to step up and play a pivotal role in fostering these discussions and maintaining the essential tenets of higher education. https://lnkd.in/e9gF2vqU

#UnapologeticLeadershipThoughts: #BlackStudentSuccessWeek – This Isn’t a Moment, it’s a Movement The term “equity” (I prefer the term “racial equity”) reverberates throughout academia, and yet, the practice remains elusive for far too many institutions. But words become actions, ideas manifest as tangible events, and change unfolds as we mobilize. Today, I invite you to be part of an incredibly promising movement — Black Student Success Week (BSSW), which is held annually during the last week of April. You may ask, “Why BSSW?” The answer is simple yet profound: Our Black students cannot wait. It’s time to be unapologetic in our approach, to demand more, and to provide more. Did you know community college enrollment for Black learners has dropped by 26% from 2011 to 2019? This 26% drop represents a pre-pandemic loss of almost 300,000 students. When you add in the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, Black community college enrollment in 2020 dropped by another 100,000 students, we are looking at a Black learner enrollment akin to 2000-01. This means declines today are really closer to a 44% drop nationally in Black #communitycollege enrollments.

Booth’s flexible and individualized curriculum, focus on experiential learning, and the collaborative social impact community made it stand out as an ideal place for me to strengthen my skills, expand my network, and explore future opportunities to enact positive social change." - Avni Nahar "My career aspirations are "to spend my energies trying to do something important versus trying to be someone important." - Adam Newman "I am looking forward to being in an environment that encourages critical thinking and a sense of curiosity, challenging me to think differently and approach problems in new ways." - Megan Pozsgai "Booth seems like a perfect balance of the structure and flexibility that I need at this stage in my career.
