Elevating the Student Voice
In Summer 2022, the Grand Challenges Program at Vassar College hosted a Peer Implementation Cluster (PIC) symposium focused on “Elevating the Student Voice.” Collaborating with our HHMI Inclusive Excellence partners from Mercy College, Wheaton College, University of Massachusetts Amherst, we spent the weekend sharing our stories, our research, and our goals to pursue Inclusive Excellence at our respective campuses and between our institutions.
