Dear Colleagues,

It is with great excitement that I invite you all to the 2019 CDE Annual hosted at Le Moyne College in Syracuse, NY from June 17-19. The theme of our meeting is “Magis: Breaking the Cycles of Marginalization on College Campuses”.

We hope that after participating in this year’s annual meeting, participants will leave our campus with tangible ideas and strategies of best practices to implement at their institutions. We hope to empower practitioners to find ways to create more inclusive spaces for all members of our campus communities. The main goal is to provide ways to move from conversations around issues of diversity and equity to actionable steps.

This will be the first time in CDE history that the annual meeting is being hosted here on the heights at Le Moyne. Our host committee and entire institution is looking forward to receiving colleagues from across the country as we engage in necessary work to live out the true meaning of being a Jesuit institution. You can find registration, schedule, and speaker information at lemoyne.edu/CDE2019.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns at willben@lemoyne.edu.

Sincerely,

Bennie D. Williams, CDE 2019 Host Chair
