New for 2021, the UPCEA Diversity and Inclusive Excellence Committee will host a special pre-conference workshop in advance of the 2021 Annual Conference, providing an opportunity for practitioners in professional, continuing, and online education (PCO) to connect with peers, to be briefed on DEI efforts large and small, and to discuss together ways each can be best positioned for the future. This workshop will be undergirded by a survey around engagement with underrepresented populations, and will begin with a review of the results of this benchmarking effort, fueled by the UPCEA Center for Research & Strategy. Following this presentation will be two, successive panel discussions featuring PCO leaders representing various types of institutions, each concluding with small group discussions and ample time for audience questions.
