The Missouri Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development will host members of St. Louis Graduates in a Thursday, September 24, webinar on Equity Mindedness in the Era of COVID-19.

A news release says although it is too early to know the full impact of COVID-19, Missouri is exploring how the pandemic is affecting college students in regards to cost, resources, internet access and more.

Thursday’s webinar will specifically explore how Missouri institutions can ensure decisions that are being made in a period of rapid change are equitable. Colleges and nonprofit partners will share how they have retained a focus on low-income students and students of color by using disaggregated data, sharing strategies and resources, and holding each other accountable to shared equity goals.

The September 24 webinar will be the first in a series of webinars planned to address specific issues surrounding equity in Missouri higher education. The Bridges to Success Equity Webinar Series will be offered once a month in addition to a week-long series at the end of October.
