Bowen Lecture Features Jerlando Jackson on ‘Diversity Prism Imperative’

Established to honor the educational legacy of Howard R. Bowen at CGU, the 33rd annual Howard R. Bowen Lecture welcomes University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor Jerlando Jackson, who will discuss the timely issue of diversity and higher education during a lecture open to the public on Wednesday evening.

Many colleges and universities in the United States experience challenges associated with achieving ethnic and racial diversity at their institutions. Surmounting these challenges is imperative, as student bodies, faculty, and staff at American colleges and universities are rapidly growing more diverse. In response to these landscape changes, Professor Jackson will discuss his new working concept “Diversity Prism Imperative” and how it can shape future research, policy, and practice in higher education.
