Equity in Action Grant Program - Request for Proposals

The CSU Student Success Network’s Equity in Action Grant Program seeks to invest resources back into the system to identify, understand and disrupt inequities, while also focusing on opportunities for students to learn, engage, progress and complete their degrees on time. The intention of this program is to draw faculty, staff, students and middle level administrators to support innovative thinking, research and evidence-based practices that lead to institutional change and specifically address equity-related challenges. Visit the website for a list of previous grant recipients and their projects.

See the Request for Proposals for more information, and if interested, submit a proposal form before Friday, March 27.

Become a Middle Leadership Academy Team Facilitator

Academy Team Facilitators serve as coaches, thought partners, and connectors for their assigned campus teams throughout the yearlong academic journey. They support reflective inquiry, guide sense-making, help teams remain aligned with academy values and goals, and serve as a liaison between the academy leadership and campus teams. Facilitators are not project managers or content experts for every topic; rather, they model collaborative leadership, ask powerful questions, surface equity considerations and help teams navigate complexity.

Interested in becoming a facilitator? Review the scope of work for more information and apply to be a facilitator today.

The deadline is Friday, March 27.
