Centering Storytelling: Grounding Equity Work in Connection and Reflection

As we work to create equitable communities on our college campuses, it is important to pause and reconnect with the core of our mission: our identities, our students' experiences, and the ways these influence the impact we aim to achieve.

This workshop will take a holistic and genuine approach to equity work by inviting participants to slow down, listen deeply, and make room for storytelling as a powerful tool for connection and change. Through intentional sharing and reflection, we will explore how vulnerability fosters trust and how those connections can lead to meaningful action.

Join Tamara Jolly of the Adirondack Diversity Initiative for an open, interactive session focused on building trust, deepening relationships, and turning shared stories into tangible strategies that support more inclusive and responsive campus environments. This session will provide tools to shift how you listen, learn, and lead with equity at the center. Come ready to connect, reflect, and imagine what’s possible.
