MU to Host State System Summit on Inclusive Education

Inclusive education is a hot topic in the world of academia, and one that touches all aspects of the student experience. This October 28 and 29, Millersville will host PASSHE's annual Summit, bringing together faculty members, staff and students from across the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education to focus on students' success in all its forms.

This year's theme, Uniting for Inclusive Student Success, will serve as a guiding framework for the event. The Summit is in a hybrid format and is free to attend for all students, faculty and staff of the 10 State System institutions. There will be addresses from keynote speakers and presentations from faculty, staff and students.

This year's keynote speakers are Dr. Tia Brown McNair and Ben Cannon. Brown McNair is a partner at Sova Solutions which helps organizations in higher education and workforce development solve problems by building coalitions, planning strategically, and managing change. She is also a Senior Consultant at the American Association of Colleges and Universities. Cannon is the Executive Director at Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission and has been since 2013. In this role, he oversees state funding allocations, policy-setting, and coordination for Oregon's higher education system, including community colleges and public universities.

"We're proud to host this year's Summit and highlight the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the higher education space," says Carlos Wiley, Chief Diversity Officer at Millersville University. "We all want to see our students succeed, and it's important to examine the many factors that contribute to their success - and the things that can hold them back."
