Building and Sustaining Purpose-Driven Communities

Guests: Dr. Kathleen Doll and Dr. Albertina Lopez

Community is an essential aspect of our lives. It provides a safe, welcoming space to connect with those who share our values while also challenging us to consider new perspectives. We need community to achieve our goals — both individually and as a society — and when we build our communities with intention, we can create the momentum necessary to move the needle on social change. Learn how community and collective action work together to build and sustain movements towards equity and justice — in higher education and beyond.

This episode explores:

• The meaning and function of community in academia and social justice work
• The role of community in higher education as it relates to student success
• Best practices to create purpose-driven communities and sustain momentum
• Being intentional in building nurturing and equitable communities
