Inclusive Gatherings at UCLA
EPIC Inclusive Gatherings at UCLA aims to facilitate cross-campus and inter-college collaboration in practical pedagogical development within the realm of inclusive and equitable classrooms.
As multiple studies from different institutions have shown, a lack of inclusivity in the classroom directly correlates -and may be a key cause- to higher dropout rates and longer times to graduate, particularly within already marginalized populations on campus such as first generation students, immigrants, undocumented students, LGBTQ, etc. In order to make meaningful and lasting changes in this area, EPIC Inclusive Gatherings has created a space for educators from all disciplines to gather and discuss how to build, promote and maintain inclusivity in their classrooms by exchanging practical advice from other educators in a relaxed setting.
