About the Event
Pre-Summit Workshop

It is no understatement to say that Justice, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has become a primary focus for countless institutions over the past decade. However, there are real and perceived barriers that prevent people from even initiating the J.E.D.I. conversations. This workshop will provide a framework for participants to navigate these conversations and begin their own efforts through the presentation, active participation, and facilitated group discussions.
This workshop will be facilitated by Brian Henry. Brian currently serves as a Program Manager, Office of International Education at the University of Denver. He is an International Educator and J.E.D.I. Facilitator from Harpers Ferry, WV. He holds a BS in Political Science and an MA in College Student Development & Administration from Shepherd University. Brian has been privileged to work in higher education for over a decade in a variety of areas at seven different institutions, and has researched and presented on aspects of student development, diversity & inclusion, and social justice.
