It is clear from local, national, and global news (and what many of you experience on a daily basis) that diversity and inclusion are tense topics on college campuses. While this is not a new phenomenon, it is one that campuses have been dealing with on a more public stage in recent history. The Vermont Higher Education Council (VHEC) invites you to join colleagues from insitutions around Vermont to have a supportive conversation about how we are engaging with these issues on our campuses.
