AACC presents: Addressing unconscious bias to create an inclusive campus community webinar

AACC hosted the webinar “Addressing Unconscious Bias to Create an Inclusive Campus Community” on Tuesday, October 30, 2018, from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m.

Unconscious bias is defined as the automatic, implicit and instantaneous association of stereotypes or attitudes towards a particular group of people. Dr. Luke Wood, Co-Director of the Community College Equity Assessment Lab (CCEAL) discussed the influence of unconscious bias on student success while providing pathways to better understand unconscious bias in higher education.
