The Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE), in partnership with Northern Kentucky University, is pleased to host the 2022 Higher EDquity Symposium November 14–15, 2022.
Converging at the intersection of higher education and equity, the Higher EDquity Symposium provides a forum for faculty, staff, students, and administrators in higher education to collaborate on issues relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
This year’s theme is "Recruitment, Retention, Realization: Using Inclusion and Belonging as a Roadmap for Promoting Equity and Student Success."

CPE invites proposals for one-hour sessions that consider:
- Creating an environment of belonging for all members of the campus community.
- Inclusive pedagogical strategies to promote student success.
- Equitable practices for increasing student retention.
- Strategies for recruiting and retaining diverse faculty and staff.
- Cultural Competence as a tool for realizing post-secondary success.
