Access Week
Thank you for attending Access Week 2024!
Access Week aims to create campus awareness of the need for an equity mindset to help all students thrive.
This annual, week-long initiative features a range of public lectures, faculty, staff and student workshops, and student programming.
Access Week highlights the academic, social, and cultural resources essential for the success of first-generation, low-income, and other underserved student groups. This includes people with disabilities, first-generation students, as well as those from racial/ethnic and financially under-resourced backgrounds.
Becoming Equity-Minded
The term “Equity-Mindedness” refers to the perspective or mode of thinking exhibited by practitioners who call attention to patterns of inequity in student outcomes. These practitioners are willing to take personal and institutional responsibility for the success of their students, and critically reassess their own practices. It also requires that practitioners are race-conscious and aware of the social and historical context of exclusionary practices in American Higher Education.
