Fulbright Senior Specialist Presentation: Institutional Change in the United States Context

Fulbright Senior Specialist Presentation: Institutional Change in the United States Context 

Rachel Yoho, CDP, PhD 

As part of the Fulbright program and a focus on international exchange, this talk focuses on what it means to be working in higher education today and particularly when focused on institutional change in higher education.  We will explore the United States context of social issues and politics, including how these are currently impacting higher education.  Specifically, we will discuss George Mason University, a large public research-intensive university in Virginia (and near Washington DC).  This university has institution-wide initiatives surrounding anti-racism and inclusive excellence as well as community engagement.  The presentation will cover the implementation of these initiatives, particularly on institutional change around teaching and learning in higher education.

Dr. Yoho is a faculty member with an affiliation in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy and serves full time as the anti-racist and inclusive teaching specialist in the Stearns Center for Teaching and Learning at George Mason University.
