Belonging was the focus of our college’s Employee Development Day (EDD) held on October 28, 2022.
Our Keynote Speaker, Dr. Vanessa Sansone, assistant professor in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at the University of Texas at San Antonio, shared her insights on being a Hispanic Serving Institution with a focus on education with a purpose for Latinx students. There were over 20 concurrent sessions, poster sessions during lunch, and wellness sessions that included yoga, painting with natural inks, Latin dancing and a bring-your-own-instrument jam session. A big thank you to all who coordinated, presented, and participated in the 2022 EDD!
