At Home in the World: Creating Synergy Between American Multi-cultural Education and Internationalization
Panel Presentation
Internationalization and multi-culturalism have different rationales and strategies, but have a shared outcome: individual and institutional growth as a result of knowledge of, and interaction with, others different from ourselves.  Panelists will identify and discuss barriers to collaboration as well as opportunities for joint efforts between those engaged in internationalization and practitioners of multiculturalism.

NADOHE Special Session
Responding to the Challenge: Immigration and Higher Education
Immigration issues, including the proposed DREAM Act, continue to challenge higher education and are reigniting the entire debate over access to higher education.  The interplay between higher education, secondary education, and state and local government policies will place the chief diversity officer (CDO) in a unique position to influence this debate and to shape the public agenda in this arena.  This session will highlight the impact higher education immigration issues are having on prospective students and higher education institutions around the country and the steps the CDO can take at these institutions to address this access imperative.

Panel: Higher education presidents.

2:45 pm – 4:00 pm
NADOHE Concurrent Sessions
Concurrent Session #1: Surviving Presidential and Provostial Transition:  Practical Strategies and Advice for CDOs
The appointment of a new president or provost can create challenges for the CDO.  New leadership presents an opportunity for fresh ideas and enhanced focus, but the change can sometimes derail well developed strategies and shift campus priorities.  This session will highlight case scenarios and discuss approaches to survive and thrive after leadership change at the top.  

Concurrent Session #2: Outstanding Research and Practice: Journal of Diversity in Higher Education
Since its debut publication in 2008, articles within NADOHE’s Journal of Diversity in Higher Education (www.apa.org/journals/dhe) have been widely cited in a range of scholarly papers.  They have provided important analyses of current practices and presented models and approaches to guide and support the work of diversity leaders across the country.  Authors representing some of the outstanding research and practice articles from NADOHE’s Journal of Diversity in Higher Education (Volume 1, No. 1 – 4) have been selected for presentation during this session.

Concurrent Session #3: Working With Faculty to Affect Curriculum Transformation
In order for all students to be prepared for the 21st century, diversity has to be more than a demographic issue on our campuses.  It is important that faculty and staff infuse diversity and global issues into coursework and noncurricular activities.  We must stimulate students to critically examine the past, current and prospective influences of diverse groups on American society and analyze the ways in which social and institutional structures can contribute to privilege and injustice, as well as interpersonal,  organizational and societal growth. This session will discuss the leadership and collaborative role of the CDO in curriculum transformation.

NADOHE Business Meeting

NADOHE Networking Breakfast Session
Concluding Keynote Address: Beyond Demographics … Creating Inclusive Environments

9:15 am – 11:00 am
Fostering Campus Inclusion: Multiple Social Identities
Current campus environments bring together students who self-identify along racial and ethnic lines, as well as sexual, gender, religious, age, ability/disability and numerous fluid combinations of these, and other social identities.  In addition to acknowledgment of personal identities, diversity leaders and other campus leadership must foster inclusion and promote deep learning and understanding of differences among our students in preparation for the life journey ahead.  A panel will discuss the role of the CDO and other campus leaders in responding to the challenges that sometimes exist among and between groups, and approaches to fostering greater inclusion.

Panel: Higher education experts representing various perspectives.
