Provost Russell Moore is also encouraging of participation.

“We have a responsibility to create an environment that fosters success and belonging at all levels,” said Moore. “I’m committed to cementing a partnership of equals between faculty and staff in service to students. Professors Kezar and González will show us research-identified ways to share our responsibility for student success, create accountability, meet challenges and make progress together.”

“These vital shared governance organizations realize that how a university leads—with equity and mattering at the center—is critical to executing our mission,” DeLuca Fernández said. “Committing to shared equity leadership is how co-creating the university begins.”

Summit schedule

The summit offers seminars for faculty, staff and students on creating culture change through shared equity leadership, creating accountability for shared equity leadership and charting progress and meeting challenges.

A daylong workshop featuring the University of Southern California’s Adrianna Kezar will focus on creating and sustaining shared equity leadership to support student success.
