NCORE 2017 Program Addendum SESSION DESCRIPTION CORRECTED – #2204 Approaches and Challenges to Implementing Opportunities for Staff Development in the Areas of Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity in the UW-Madison Division of Enrollment Management This session should particularly benefit participants who are interested in providing sustainable structures for staff learning and dialogue in the areas of inclusion, diversity, and equity. The Division of Enrollment Management (DEM) Engagement, Inclusion and Diversity (EID) Committee is part of a broad structure of “Equity and Diversity Committees” within individual departments, colleges and units at UW- Madison. Two years ago, the EID Committee created a social justice learning community for colleagues within their campus division. The goal of this session is to highlight the EID Committee approaches and challenges to create space for social justice learning and dialogue across the DEM offices of Admissions and Recruitment, the Registrar, Student Financial Aid, and the Student Information System. UPDATED DESCRIPTION – #2217 The Light. The Light. One Will Perish Without the Light., Wednesday, May 31 – 10:00-11:30, Room 203B. We are in a time of grave danger paralleled by great opportunity for imagination, vision and creativity. White supremacy and white nationalism have been legitimized and celebrated. We feel the turmoil, and we must seize the opportunity. We will come together to explore through a film, Light in the Shadows, that shows how the conversation on race and inequity breaks down. We will also push our respective communication edges, through a process called strategic questioning, to help us shift communication in ways that we can support equity and inclusion. SESSION NOTICE -- #2606 Protesting or Protecting: Language, Culture, and Advocacy in the Standing Rock Sioux Debate, Wednesday, May 31 – 4:45-6:00 pm, Room 108 The purpose of this session is to provide a holistic and historical understanding what has happened with the Standing Rock Sioux’s case against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the water protection actions surrounding the Dakota Access Pipeline. This presentation will allow for the audience to deconstruct the history of Native American movements leading up to and including the Standing Rock Sioux’s case against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The presenters will give a brief historical brief of the socio-political movements surrounding Native rights, but also a more in depth understanding of what is happening and has happened within this particular movement. Ideally participants will have a greater understanding that all movements are seen through lenses, and those lenses are informed by the audience’s available knowledge and motivations.

Over the past decade, universities across the country have engaged in comprehensive program reviews for each student affairs functional unit. As a scholar who is often called to serve as the external reviewer for program reviews within multicultural affairs, the presenter has often found the departments voicing legitimate complaints regarding the required use of CAS standards. The activism that grounds the history of university multicultural affairs calls for these offices to purposefully be different in practice, services, relationships, environment, and community involvement than other student service units. While many of the CAS standards are undoubtedly important and necessary for the assessment of multicultural affairs, some of these departments (and specifically cultural centers) may need to expand on CAS standards during their program reviews/self-studies. This session will share two viable resources that more effectively address the work of multicultural affairs: The Five Point Plan (Programming structure for multicultural centers) and the Principles of Transformative Education (Standards that are specific to issues of racial and social justice, inclusion, and diversity).

After nearly two years, Texas Gov. Rick Perry would sign House Bill 174 recognizing the last Friday in September as American Indian Heritage Day. This session will address how Peggy Larney and her small group of supporters built the necessary momentum to nurture HB 174 into Texas law. This session re-traces the successful grassroots navigation of HB 174. Particular focus will be on the strategic make-up of the original grassroots committee, including the partnership with UT-Arlington. It is our hope that this session will inspire and fuel impactful community efforts. Thus, this session will benefit participants who are interested in grassroots efforts, those who work in community service organizations, those who are interested in University / school community partnerships, and those who are concerned with ongoing Native reclamation efforts at the state level.
