As a part of the INDIGO Salon lecture series, Dr. Michael Goh (Interim Vice President, Office for Equity and Diversity, University of Minnesota) presented March 12, 2018 on “Inclusive Excellence in Higher Education: Lessons from Science, Practice, and one Taxi-Driver.”
Dr. Goh delivered an inspiring lecture, which began with his vision that ”diversity is defined not only as a driving force but a necessary condition for excellence in the work and lives of every student, faculty, and staff member.” He then offered four “Ps:“ Purpose, Principle, Program and People, which, coupled with insightful ways to understand Asian Americans’ self-perception, can facilitate the implementation of Institutional Diversity, Inclusive Excellence, and Intercultural Competence.
