<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">It was nice to meet and see you last week at our fall meeting. A special thank you to Dr. Lia Wetzstein and Dr. Leandra Cate from the Community College Research Initiative for their presentation on the Initiative
in Diversity, Equity, Antiracism, and Leadership (IDEAL) Fellowship. We are excited to use what we have learned from their program evaluation as we look toward launching the fourth IDEAL cohort.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

provide a foundation in justice-centered and anti-oppressive theory and scholarship, engage in problem and project based learning to identify and investigate campus policies that disproportionately impact hypermarginalized <span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">student</span> groups,
and/or find ways to improve an equity-centered policy on their campus. Fellows join a group of IDEAL alumni who continue to advance equity on their campuses and in their communities and may be eligible to receive a $1000.00 stipend.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
