Can't take everyone to Cleveland? Considering registering as a
group/institution for the ACRL Virtual Conference and host professional
development gatherings for staff, faculty, and members of your broader
community. Each registration includes unlimited access to the online
conference community for one year after the event and there are many
sessions focused on EDI and academic libraries.

The above are just a few that come to mind. I hope you will share others as
we seek to heighten awareness and nurture professional growth surrounding
issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion within academic libraries in our
state.

Best,
