As the fight for gender equity in education policy and leadership continues, we must examine the obstacles faced by Black women in education leadership and elected office. Black women often face dual burdens lived at the intersection of their race and gender identity, frequently subjected to lower compensation, microagressions, and a slew of other insults not faced by their male peers or white female colleagues. In this webinar, hear from resource experts about the discrimination faced by Black women in education spaces and how the field can address this long legacy of asking so much, while providing so little.

When examining the barriers and obstacles faced by students of color, Asian American students and community members are often overlooked. Due to the prevalence of the Model Minority Myth, American society has long neglected the needs of Asian American students, falsely asserting that their academic experiences mirror that of white peers and thus, they don't need our attention. In the wake of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is abundantly clear that Asian American students face discrimination, bias, and hate at alarming rates. In this webinar, we'll hear from resource experts on the challenges, successes, and needs of America’s diverse Asian American students.

The pandemic has disrupted the operations and finances of colleges across the nation, but as communities of color have been most impacted by COVID-19, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) face significant challenges. Historically and currently, HBCUs have served not only students’ academic needs, but also their social-emotional and health needs through comprehensive culturally-based wraparound services. This role has been especially crucial during the pandemic, as institutions work to ensure that students are safe, healthy, and connected to resources and support. In this webinar, HBCU leaders and alumni will discuss the crucial role of HBCUs in supporting the Black community as a whole and the impact of COVID-19 on the future of HBCUs.
