https://padlet.com/lorens6/RegionXIandDEI This is a working, living Padlet site that came out of several rounds of conversations had with folks in the International Education community of Region XI, which are still ongoing and progressing. Meeting and agenda notes can be found on this site as well as historical notes from previous conversations. From the DEIB Roundtable that was held during the 2022 Regional Conference came the following: Below is the collective knowledge brought together when participants were asked: "What are we already doing well in these areas?" Feel free to add and keep growing this padlet and list!The next part of the conversation was "What can we do better as a region" and our brainstorms are reflected in the "Collective Regional Ideas to move forward" section. Additionally, notes from are meetings so far are linked in a Google Doc along with a document created from a previous conversation in June. Feel free to add notes and thoughts on those topics as well. This work stems off the amazing DEIB working being done in the region and a conversation had by a small group of NAFSA regional leadership team volunteer on June 14, 2022. Community Conversations happen on the second Thursday of the month with the next one being on Thursday, June 8th, 2023.
