Equity

Contact: Jan Erickson and Michael Werner

Meets monthly

Summary:

The Equity Committee provides open discussion and takes actions and assists in developing policy to support statewide access and success of concurrent enrollment students and instructors. We address issues facing students taking college and university coursework at their high school or on a postsecondary campus and instructors teaching through concurrent enrollment partnerships. 

This MnCEP committee works to address the inequities in our systems and processes that impact all student access, success and navigation of secondary to postsecondary opportunities and with particular attention and support to student and instructor populations that have been historically underrepresented in postsecondary including Black, Indigenous and People of Color. You are invited to join us!
