UToledo Was Among National Hosts for 'Amplifying Student Voices' Convening
The University of Toledo served as one of 40 host institutions for the Amplifying Student Voices (ASV) convening, a national hybrid event organized by the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education in partnership with the American Association of Colleges & Universities and the Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation Campus Centers.
This nationwide event took place on Saturday, Oct. 5, and brought together more than 400 student leaders to engage in virtual and in-person dialogues on the future of belonging, diversity and equity in higher education and on strategies for fulfilling the promise of an inclusive democracy.
Student leaders from across campus participated in Saturday's virtual Amplifying Student Voices national convening.
As a host institution, The University of Toledo welcomed nine student leaders from the campus to participate. The convening offered students an opportunity to discuss their unique perspectives on how to create and sustain diverse and equitable communities.
Student perspectives gathered during this convening will contribute to the ongoing conversation about how higher education can better serve all individuals and communities.
The Amplifying Student Voices project is supported by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the Lumina Foundation.
