I am pleased to announce the return of the Pedagogical Institute as a response to the expansion of the Title III Initiative, Roar to Success, and to the approval of the new General Education 2023 (GE 23) program.  Instructors and coordinators of Student Success, first-year, and general education courses, TRIO personnel, student services professionals, and administrators will benefit from the workshop and discussions.  

The Mobile AntiRacist Workshop was developed by several members of the President's Council on Equity and Classroom Diversity at Buffalo State University. These Council members researched the meaning of antiracism and developed a workshop to share their findings with colleagues across campus. The Workshop is "mobile" in the sense that the point is to bring antiracist lessons to interested colleagues at times and spaces convenient to them. The Workshop is informative yet short enough to be hosted within most regularly scheduled faculty, administrator, and staff meetings. It is also voluntary, friendly, and aligned with the University's commitment to social justice for its own sake. We also understand that students who see themselves positively represented in their educational surroundings are more likely to be inspired, stay, and excel.
