Abstract
Today’s college students face many challenging circumstances, unlike any previous generation. In addition to the usual angst of beginning college, students face a backdrop of social justice issues, a pandemic illness, financial instability, and the pressures of leveraging their diplomas to pursue employment and personal goals and dreams. In this context, faculty can play a crucial role in helping students transition into higher education effectively, personalize their learning, and offer a listening ear to work through challenges and uncertainties. This workshop focuses on developing inclusive and hospitable learning environments, empathic teaching, and a forum for difficult topics of conversation. In addition to the conversations during this session, participants will also be provided with a collection of digital resources focusing on inclusion and hospitality in higher education.
