Equity-Minded Institutes

The Collective’s Equity-Minded Institutes are contextualized to your campus, using your institution’s own processes, structures, and artifacts for hands-on session activities.

The institute’s intentionally designed learning spaces will collectively build your campus practitioners’ equity-minded knowledge and ability to see and act on racialized outcomes. Working together, your practitioners will learn to leverage equity-minded tools and strategies that they’ll be prepared to immediately apply.

Institutes include:  

  • The Collective’s Equity-Minded Teaching Institute (EMTI)

  • The Collective’s Equity-Minded Student Services / Affairs Institute (EMSAI)

  • The Collective’s Equity-Minded Leadership Institute (EMLI)

  • The Collective’s Equity-Minded Hiring Institute (EMHI)

More information on each institute is shared below.

Also, if current institute offerings do not fit your needs, please do not hesitate to contact us and we’ll work together to design an institute that aligns with your equity priorities.
