Advancing Campus Pluralism: Bridgebuilding Across Difference

https://www.interfaithamerica.org/events/campus-pluralism-conference

This convening will bring together college and university presidents committed to promoting positive cooperation across political, ideological, and religious divides.

In the face of rising antisemitism, Islamophobia, and prejudice on campuses across the nation, this convening will bring together college and university presidents committed to promoting positive cooperation across political, ideological, and religious divides. We highly encourage presidents to attend personally and invite two senior administration or faculty leaders who will support implementation of positive bridgebuilding or positive cooperation across divides at your institution. The convening will feature engaging keynotes from leaders in campus pluralism followed by interactive workshops and dedicated time for campus team reflection and planning. Throughout the convening, participants will build capacity to develop a comprehensive strategy for advancing pluralism on their campuses, envisioning the centrality of cooperation within college and university environments and scaffolding their next steps to positive and sustainable bridgebuilding across difference.

The Advancing Campus Pluralism: Bridgebuilding Across Difference convening is a collaboration between Interfaith America and AAC&U.

Public university leaders have spent years creating and testing solutions to help students succeed in college, complete their degrees, and be well-prepared for the workforce. These efforts have achieved significant success at individual institutions, but have not been fully brought to scale across the public higher education sector.

That’s why nearly 125 institutions have joined together to increase college access, student, and postsecondary attainment. The initiative, called Powered by Publics: Scaling Student Success, represents the largest-ever collaborative effort to improve college access, advance equity, and increase college degrees awarded.

To achieve this vision, APLU's Powered by Publics initiative has convened nearly 125 change-ready institutions within 16 “transformation clusters” – reaching 3 million undergraduate students, including 1 million Pell Grant recipients. Each cluster is focused on solving different pieces of the student success puzzle as public universities work together to tear down long-standing barriers, eliminate the achievement gap, prepare students to thrive in the 21st century workforce, and collectively increase the number of degrees they award. The clusters are advancing collaborative work in thematic areas of affordability, holistic student supports, and teaching and learning.

Public research universities share a commitment to providing students from all backgrounds an affordable, high-quality education that aligns with workforce needs. APLU will work with the institutions in the transformation clusters to facilitate a collaborative community of learning so the entire public higher education community can identify and adopt evidence-based practices that drive progress toward equity and college completion.
