This dynamic, highly interactive session will support participants in gaining a richer appreciation of the importance of proactively championing inclusion and belonging to ensure that our university becomes a place where everyone can be the best version of themselves.  An initial set of experiential activities will demonstrate the importance of this work plus offer a real-time model for better understanding one another's realities and bringing people together across differences.  The presenter will then lead the group through a thoughtful exploration of the significant role of cultural identity in shaping individual beliefs and behaviors as well as how these cultural lenses can produce unconscious biases that create barriers for full inclusion -- with the session then pivoting to a powerful discussion of practical ideas for establishing truly inclusive spaces for everyone to belong and flourish.  In these challenging times, it is critical for us to honor the richness of our diverse campus community so we can collectively transform walls into bridges of understanding and respect.  The presentation concludes with an exciting opportunity for participants to share their stories and celebrate one another, offering a special moment for unifying the Ole Miss family in the spirit of ensuring that all individuals feel valued and can experience success.
