Beyond the current COVID-19 pandemic, the year 2020 has brought racial and social unrest not seen in the country for nearly 50 years. It is a moment that the nine-member Strategic Horizon Network will not let pass. Undeterred by the constraints of the pandemic, the November colloquium provides a laser focus on anti-racism and inclusive excellence to expand our individual and collective perspectives and inspire a call for institutional action beyond our current efforts.
All SHN member colleges have made tremendous strides in our student success work and, through intentional efforts, have made early strides in creating more inclusive organizational cultures. However, we must continue to stretch our thinking and find ways to push the conversations about systemic racism and dimensions of inclusion to a place where deep personal and institutional change can occur. Community colleges pride ourselves on responding to the needs of our communities and the current social unrest is an opportunity of our institutions to step into this space and model the way for others and ourselves that moves our students, faculty, staff, and local communities toward a more anti-racist and systemically inclusive reality.
