CUNY educates and employs approximately 265,000 New Yorkers of which at least 85% identify as being part of a minority group. The 2024 Dismantling and Combating Hate Conference will provide discussion about, and tools for, a holistic approach to building a sense of belonging and value among every member of the community at CUNY–from hiring and admissions practices to support services inside and outside the classroom.
Join us for a morning keynote and panel discussion, networking, and afternoon breakout sessions.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided. This is a free event open to members of the CUNY community and the public.
