Your Power in Middle Leadership: What Does it Take to Create Equity-Focused Change?

  • September 8, 2023 • 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM PT
  • VIRTUAL

Overview

Over the past year, CSU Network participants have explored what it means to create equitable, student-ready campuses and how to use data to design and implement equity-focused reforms. Moving these plans forward requires change management skills.

Join us for a virtual conversation exploring how middle leaders can move reforms, even on campuses without complete buy-in and from positions of constrained authority. We’ll explore strategies used by other campuses in the CSU, as well as the types of decisions leaders make throughout the change process.

This is the third session in the From Evidence to Practice series.

Fees

Registration is free for all CSU faculty, staff, and administrators
