DESCRIPTION:Keynote speaker: J. Luke WoodCommunity colleges and other two-y
 ear institutions of higher education have long served the educational need
 s of the vast majority of students of color\, racial minorities\, and colo
 nized people. Realistically\, the volume of students from these population
 s have frequently been the statistic majority in these educational setting
 s. Yet\, there remains an equity gap between these students who attend and
  graduate these institutions and their white counterparts. The gap widens 
 further when looking at overall achievement throughout all types of higher
  education in the United States.This conference is being held to dialogue 
 and learn about how community colleges and other two-year institutions can
  serve as agents for racial justice and decolonization. Current quality pr
 actices and future recommendations will be explored in relation to issues 
 of politics\, access\, identity\, and policy.Learn moreSponsor: Office of
