In June, 2023 I presented alongside Assistant Professor Roman Liera, and two classmates from the MA Higher Education Program, Sunny Jung and Maneet Kaur. Together we explained practitioner inquiry and the way we used CUE’s Equity Scorecard to understand racial equity gaps in both enrollment and graduate rates at Montclair State University. We ended our presentation with a fishbowl activity and small group discussions.
