The technical system in Wisconsin is being held increasingly accountable for advancing equity and inclusion transformational change efforts. Boosting outcomes requires broad-scale, institution-wide change via shared-governance and community of practice models. To this end, all boats are able to rise in environments that provide a sense of welcome, belonging and ability to thrive for students. By redefining their commitment to empowering diversity and undergoing comprehensive transformational change efforts, the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) has embarked in the journey to design equity and inclusion practices and interventions. With the goal of enhancing student success and cultural wealth, WTCS employs a shared governance and community of practice model with the sixteen technical colleges that are part of the state system to achieve this transformational change effort. In addition, the poster will provide an examination of effective initiatives, interventions, and strategies by exemplifying the work of Gateway Technical College and other Wisconsin technical colleges as part of the WTCS transformational change efforts.
