Region XI DEI Listserv

Region XI DEI

With the introduction of Region XI's new Diversity & Access Representative in January 2024, Region XI has created dedicated space for our members to engage in dialogue and action through the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion. All Region XI members are encouraged to review NAFSA's Statement on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to learn more about the organization's overall commitment to DEI. Current opportunities for engagement in Region XI include:

  • Join in Monthly DEI Conversations (every 2nd Thursday at 11am EST via Zoom) where we discuss the needs of our communities and actionable ways to address those needs 
  • Participate in a DEI Roundtable at the annual Region XI Conference 
  • Engage in Discussion and collaboration with other practitioners with through the new Region XI DEI listserv

All Region XI members who are interested in engaging in dialogue on how Region XI can better serve you and/or your institution are encouraged to sign up for the listserv or reach out to the Diversity & Access Representative directly at [email protected].
