Rackham Minority Serving Institutions Coffee Chat Series

The coffee chat series will serve as a space for scholars and practitioners to share ideas, best practices, and other resources related to R1 and Minority Serving Institutions relationships and mechanisms of support for students that transition from MSIs into R1 for graduate and professional education. The series will highlight examples from U-M, exemplars from across the country, and scholars and practitioners that explore and implement practices that foster positive experiences and outcomes for students from MSIs.

This series is primarily intended for faculty and staff that have existing relationships with MSIs, or for those who do not but are interested in forming relationships, as well as graduate students who have interest in this topic.

This session will provide attendees with an understanding of how to develop reciprocal and equitable partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). A particular emphasis will be on practices taken from Mentoring@Purdue (M@P) which is a national award-winning inclusive excellence-centric mentoring program. This session is appropriate for faculty and staff who have an interest in developing partnerships with HBCUs. However, lessons learned from this talk can be applied to partnership development activities with any type of Minority-Serving Institution.
