The 22nd Annual Equity Within the Classroom Conference, a state-wide conference that focuses on achieving parity in enrollment, retention, and graduation for underrepresented students of color and academically and economically disadvantaged students in higher education, will be held March 18-20, 2012, at Saginaw Valley State University.
All members of the University community -- faculty, staff, and students -- are welcomed and encouraged to submit proposals that highlight FSU's curricular, co-curricular, and other programs and initiatives that address the specific theme and overall focus of the conference. The Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning will provide travel support for at least 10 faculty to participate in the conference.
