Eduardo Contreras has been invited by Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad to be a guest editor for two special issues on “Diversity and Inclusion in Education Abroad,” along with Lily López-McGee (Howard University), David Wick (Middlebury Institute of International Studies), and Tasha Willis (Cal State Los Angeles). The virtual issue highlights the most important articles related to diversity, equity, and inclusion that Frontiers has published since it began in 1995. The introductory article and virtual issue can be read here.
The guest editors also invite scholars to submit their own original research for a forthcoming special issue featuring new research on diversity, inclusion, and equity in education abroad to this peer-reviewed journal. The call for articles is available here.

As part of ongoing efforts to foster and sustain an inclusive environment for all members of the campus community, UP is participating in the Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium (HEDS) Diversity and Equity Campus Climate Survey. The survey will take 10-15 minutes to complete with your anonymous feedback on the campus climate. It is open to students, faculty, and staff in order to gather a representative overview of campus experiences.
The Diversity and Inclusion Program will present Las Posadas, a cultural and religious celebration, on Wednesday, December 5, 7 to 9 p.m., in Mehling Ballroom.
