Abstract

This UAGC Chronicle issue focuses on topics pertaining to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEI&B). It aims to continue building our understanding of the student experience, so that we can leverage it towards positive, cross-departmental collaboration to ensure the institution supports the whole student toward academic success.

In this issue, you will find several articles that tie topics related to DEI&B to a range of institutional issues – like our critical student goals; ensuring our students have access to learning materials; and reflecting on our own – perhaps ingrained – behaviors in order to maintain safe, engaging learning environments for all students. In the second installment of the recurring Provost's Corner, Dr. Sarah Steinberg discusses our university's goal of incorporating DEI&B into the curriculum to increase students' sense of belonging. Lead Instruction Librarian, Anna Uribe, offers an opportunity to support students' learning via Open Educational Resources. Dr. Newton Miller, Lead Faculty, and Paul Schultz, Faculty Development and Coaching Specialist, explore implicit bias in the classroom and avoiding microaggressions. We hope this issue brings further awareness to the diverse needs and goals of UAGC students and provides you with ideas for integrating critical DEI&B considerations into your teaching practices.

The UAGC Chronicle staff actively seeks contributions demonstrating engagement with and dedication to the UAGC mission. Future issues will focus on the academic and student support work that the University of Arizona Global Campus has identified in the institution’s critical goals.
