After the Ballots: Navigating the 2024 Election Outcomes
Join AASCU’s ADP for a thoughtful conversation after the 2024 elections.
Watch recording.We may have cast our ballots, but civic engagement is far from over.
As the nation processes the run-up to and the results of the 2024 elections, our academic communities face the crucial task of understanding and responding to the outcomes. As educators and leaders within our academic communities, we must continue fostering dialogue, understanding, and action. This virtual discussion is designed for college and university faculty and staff to come together and reflect on the election’s implications for our campuses, students, and society.
Join us for an open and inclusive conversation where we will:
- Debrief the Results: Engage in thoughtful analysis of the election outcomes, exploring the potential impacts on higher education and the diverse communities we serve.
- Share Reactions and Concerns: Provide a supportive space for faculty and staff to express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns about the election’s implications.
- Reaffirm Our Commitment to Civic Engagement: Discuss how we can continue to encourage civic responsibility and active participation on our campuses, recognizing that the work of democracy extends beyond the ballot box.
- Discuss Next Steps: Collaborate on strategies for fostering productive dialogue, supporting students, and strengthening campus climate in the post-election period.
