GMercyU Hosted Convening for National “Restorative Communities of Practice”

GMercyU was selected as a host for the “Restorative Communities of Practice” (RCoP) convening, a hybrid event designed for senior diversity leaders in higher education to have open dialogue regarding the challenges of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. The event was organized by the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education (NADOHE) and included more than 200 senior-level diversity officers and academic diversity officers from 21 institutions.

Participants engaged in conversation pertaining to the current and future state of higher education in terms of preparing students for successful future while also fostering a sense of community and belonging. Leaders from the American Association of Colleges & Universities (AAC&U) Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) Campus Centers participated in the event as well.

Ideas and perspectives from the gathering contribute to the continuous conversation about how higher education can be used to better serve communities and the individuals within them. The NADOHE’s work and membership efforts, alongside business, community, and non-profit leaders’ fight to create more inclusive environments will be informed.
