SUMMARY:Webinar | Anti-Racism in Academia: A Learning Journey - Persist  (Educause)
DESCRIPTION:n response to the dialogue across EDUCAUSE community groups and within our personal lives\, a small group of community leaders have developed the Anti-Racism in Academia: A Learning Journey (ARiA) series. The ARiA series was created to inspire a more understanding and inclusive community in higher education by engaging professionals of all levels and across disciplines. Combatting racism on a personal\, professional\, and communal scale requires time and intentional effort; it really is a journey of discovery and understanding. \nThe ARiA series framework is organized into five parts: Reach Out\, Listen\, Learn\, Act\, Persist. \nThis month’s focus is on Persisting to sustain your diversity efforts. Come join us for the kickoff webinar\, and sign-up for a breakout discussion. \nOutcomes\nWe want to enable participants to get the most out of their learning journey. We designed the ARiA framework to accomplish three main goals: \n\nCreate safe spaces to explore\, share\, and learn.\nPromote personal and professional growth through expanded awareness and expanded understanding of different racial perspectives.\nEmpower participants to foster a more inclusive and understanding higher ed community with expanded ideas\, perspectives\, and strategies.\n\nSpeakers:  Tonya Bennett | Director of Educational Technology @PennVet\, University of Pennsylvania\, Jonathan B. Hardy | IT Director\, University of Georgia\, Tina Pappas | Associate Director\, Innovation and Technology\, Rutgers\, The State University of New Jersey\, Sowmya Shankar | Java Applications Programmer\, University of Delaware

SUMMARY:Webinar | What Is the Digital Campus? The Future of Student Engagement  (EDUCAUSE)
DESCRIPTION:The rules of higher ed are changing fast\, and the time has come for colleges and universities to radically change the ways they engage\, collaborate\, and communicate with constituents. \nFrom campus tours to advising\, libraries\, and events\, digital transformation is redefining the concept of physical presence. We are no longer offices with front desks and phones. Employees today need a front-line communications platform at the ready to communicate information to more audiences\, faster\, using multiple channels\, from the first encounter\, no matter where they are or what device they are using. But migrating from siloed and segmented systems to a single\, more powerful platform is no small task. Join our panel as we discuss this journey and share best practices to help your campus become more digital. \nOutcomes\n\nEvolve and adapt the needs of various student populations\nAdapt and prepare for the changing needs for classroom instruction\nExplore new ways to have a local and virtual campus\nEnsure safety and security\nLeverage omni-channel communications to connect to students via social media\n\nSpeakers:  Sarah Christen | Director IT Infrastructure\, Cornell University \nNaveed Husain | VP\, Vertical Programs\, Public Sector & Education\, Ring Central\, Inc. \nRebecca Joffrey | IT Innovations Office\, Cornell University \nJim Lundy | CEO & Lead Analyst\, Aragon Research
