Recruiting and Retaining Scholars from Underrepresented Groups 

Thursday, February 8 from 10:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

This workshop provides financial contexts, testimonies, and strategies to help institutional leaders recruit and retain scholars from underrepresented groups across the pipeline from graduate students through senior faculty.

It identifies surprisingly common pitfalls that can not only encourage students and faculty to accept other offers, but also cause costly and long-term reputational damage to departments and institutions.

Who it’s for: Academic Deans, Department Chairs, and Directors of Graduate Programs
