Kirsten Komara, director of OLLU’s Academic Center for Excellence; Nicole Monsibais, the university’s Equity and Compliance Officer/Title IX Coordinator; and Madison Taber, director of Assessment and Accreditation, attended the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity (NCORE) held in New Orleans last week. NCORE provides a forum for discussion and critical dialogue about race, ethnicity, and its intersections in higher education and helps institutions find effective strategies for promoting access, social development, education, positive communication, and cross-cultural understanding in diverse settings. Participation in the conference was made possible by a Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board grant for the Student Success Acceleration Implementation Program.
