Back in August 2019, we convened our first faculty panel to talk about diversity efforts at Ivy Tech and why this initiative is so critical to our college. Four of the five panelists you will hear from today discussed their impressions and opinions on the current state of diversity efforts at Ivy Tech.

Today's guest host for this episode was Russ Baker, Vice President for Academic Affairs at Ivy Tech. You can connect with him at [email protected]

• Julius Edwards, Administrative Faculty and Dean, School of Public Affairs and Social Services, Indianapolis
• Collette Emery, Associate Professor and Department Chair of Communication and Student Success, Lake County
• Erin Lehman, Associate Professor of English, Columbus. Erin is currently on assignment as the IvyOnline Faculty Lead for School of Arts, Sciences, & Education
• Doran Moreland, Interim Vice President, Diversity, Equity, and Belonging
