This UK Black History Month’s theme, "Reclaiming Narratives," spotlights the vital yet often overlooked contributions of African and Caribbean communities to British history. For centuries, their impact has been marginalized or misrepresented. This month offers an opportunity to engage with their authentic stories, celebrate their achievements, and deepen our understanding of their influence on society.

Wahoo! Tomorrow's the day! We'll be launching our new report - Building Touchpoints for Equity in Sustainability Higher Education, looking at the institutional, programmatic and individual actions that higher ed staff in admissions, faculty, student services and career services can take to create an inclusive sector of sustainability. Join us for a LinkedIn livestream at 11-1PM ET/4-6PM GMT/8-10AM PT with Heather K. Mak (麥穎莜) and Julieta Mulangu as we go through the key findings and also do a series of Q&As with Andrew Gonzales, Christine Bader Ana Gabriela Buttelli Hentschke and John Kim to discuss how some of these findings are playing out in real life. Join us on LinkedIn and register on https://lnkd.in/gxvPZfV so you can get first access to the report and a hold for your calendar!

Career services offer the connection between schooling and activities after graduation. They are particularly valuable for students from marginalized backgrounds, who may not have the networks, experience in the field, or family members or friends who can offer advice in navigating the world of work. Register for our livestream happening tomorrow to explore the challenges and opportunities career services staff encounter in breaking down barriers for racially diverse students pursuing higher education in sustainability!

To supplement admissions, faculty, and career services, many schools have student clubs, student life, and even the sustainability department, all of which can foster a sense of community and belonging in the field of sustainability at the college or university level.

Faculty are the academic departments at a university, made up of professors or instructors who are experts in specific subjects, such as sustainability. Professors and instructors often conduct their own research, supervise graduate or Ph.D. students, and teach classes, providing learning opportunities for students. The report further explores expanding the syllabi beyond Western authors and ways of knowing, immersing students in diverse perspectives, and linking course content to students’ lives as examples of how faculty approaches are shifting. Other solutions include creating safe spaces and accessible classrooms, and changing graduation requirements such as mandatory internships, to reduce inequity.

Admissions departments at universities are the entry point to higher education. They attract and assess students for enrollment in the university or college, by providing information and determining eligibility. They also provide early exposure into campus culture and provide details on specific programs. Some school admissions are focused on cultivating relationships with students before university/college, adjusting admissions requirements, reducing financial barriers, and creating special programs to meet the needs of diverse students.
