to share knowledge and practices that advance teaching and learning at Penn State.
2022 Schreyer Conference
Looking Inward, Moving Forward: Advancing DEIA in Teaching and Learning
The 2022 Schreyer Conference focuses on the critical role of diversity,
equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in teaching and learning.
Through plenary presentations, facilitated roundtable discussions, and
individual reflection, we hope that the conference will foster courage
to listen deeply, to reflect on our commitment to DEIA, and to advance
DEIA in teaching and learning through collective and individual action.
The conference will be held via Zoom.
