This webinar was designed to provide an introduction to the topic of unconscious bias to community college administrators and educators. 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.
