Bayard Rustin Lecture Series

 Named for alumnus and Civil Rights Activist Bayard Rustin, this lecture series intends to connect student academic and intellectual ideals with student engagement and social relevancy. Students will have an opportunity to interact and explore conversations with speakers that are brought to campus expressly to engage students in intellectual and in-depth questions related to self and community. Later, each Institutional Effectiveness met with each Division as a whole to discuss assessment as it related specifically to the needs of the administrative unit.
