College Access Amid Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Limits – Virtual Convening

Your voice matters! Texas students deserve equitable access to college. IDRA invites you to a virtual convening bringing together students, parents, educators and advocates.

Why? Changes in state and federal laws have limited the criteria for college admissions. Other laws block diversity, equity and inclusion programming that supports future college students. All of these changes place a heavy burden on historically marginalized high school students and their access to college.

Building on the input from over 90 Texans, your contributions in this event will directly inform the college access resources IDRA is developing to support schools and families.

Time: 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm CT
