EAB Presentations on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice
Explore sample Partner Intensive topics focused on DEIJ in higher ed
EAB experts offer presentations and facilitated workshops, both virtually and in-person, that are designed to help our partners advance toward their goals. Grounded in data and best-practice research, EAB Partner Intensives are most often leveraged by our partners to help validate a need for campus change, generate buy-in and consensus from critical stakeholder groups, and even facilitate difficult but much-needed discussions among leadership teams and committees.
Sessions are typically one to two hours in length and are tailored to meet the needs of your campus. Audiences may include academic affairs leadership, DEIJ leadership, HR leadership, faculty leadership, advisors, or cabinets, depending on the topic and your specific objectives.
