Events

The SES Community will be gathering on Monday, September 9, 2024, for a Magic Monday, a designated Monday each month when the greater community of Claremont Graduate University’s School of Educational Studies gathers for fellowship and enrichment. These events are open to our students, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends.

See below for information about the structure of our Magic Mondays.

This month’s enrichment activity: Emerit faculty showcase & book reveal featuring Professor Daryl G. Smith, and the fourth edition of Diversity’s Promise for Higher Education: Making It Work.

Tile of Daryl G. Smith’s Talk: “Framing the Diversity Imperative: The Threats and, Perhaps, the Opportunities for Moving Forward.”

The significance of diversity is apparent everywhere. The 4th edition of Diversity’s Promise for Higher Education: Making it Work (2024) provides an opportunity to focus on the current context, the progress and evolution since the 1st ed (2009), the backlash concerning DEI, what we have learned from decades of research, what is newly emerging and the implications for leaders in every corner of our institutions in the continuing need to build capacity and move the needle. There is both an urgency and opportunity now to find new ways to communicate and center this work to provide real and equitable transformation for a pluralistic society that works.

Join us for this important lecture.
