Effective leadership is inclusive leadership. Academic Impressions creates psychologically safe environments for training and discussion around diversity, equity, and inclusion. We know these topics can induce anxiety for some and passion for others. That is why we engage subject-matter experts who are knowledgeable, honest, and approachable when considering topics that many of us were raised to never discuss.

Academic Impressions continues to build trust in the DEI space because, in addition to having facilitators who are thoroughly vetted, we also place a priority on making sure our presenters believe what we believe: that learning about inclusivity should feel like an enhancement to your skillset, not a punishment for “bad” behavior. We aim to help higher education leaders, regardless of level or positional authority, expand their awareness and skillset around diversity, equity and inclusion.
