“Indigenous Nation-Building: Creating Strong Partnerships

In an age of Indigenous Nation-(Re)Building,
higher education institutions and Indigenous
nation governments and organizations can
create meaningful, effective, and lasting
partnerships. In his presentation, Dr. Begay
will highlight this effort, particularly focusing
on the knowledge and skills that higher
education administrators and students need
in order to become aware of and responsive
to Indigenous nations as they look to partner

M4.4239 Diversity: Bridging Student Systems to
Impact Event Attendance
1:15 p.m. – 2:15 p.m. | North 127A
Like many institutions with a “themed term,” Elon brings numerous
speakers to campus to engage in dialogues, however, student
attendance at these events was sparse. To improve attendance,
standard course registration was linked to an events management
system used to register students for diversity-themed events at the
same time they registered for the following semester’s classes. The
overall impact of connecting the two systems showed a significant
increase in students attending themed diversity events outside
of class.
