March 17-20, 2024
Attending the USDA meeting and AHSIE Conference offered a number of different perspectives from faculty and students, talks and workshops to enhance the inclusion and equity skills of current educators, displaying multiple different projects aimed to serve underrepresented students. My favorite talk was given by Rosa Clemente who is an organizer, producer, academic, journalist, and scholar-activist. Her speech was empowering and addressed the current and former struggles underrepresented groups have dealt with in the past and currently experiencing in the United States. I’m absolutely honored to have been in her presence and to have learned as much as I did at this conference.
