AB  - Addressing educational inequities has been the focus of institutional diversity, equity, and inclusion operations for many years. However, the recent crisis—the COVID-19 pandemic, the systemic racism and racial inequities in this country —has prompted a clarion call for more effective strategies that will result in more equitable outcomes for vulnerable student populations on our campuses. By promoting the importance of a diverse campus, adopting an equity-minded approach to leadership, and facilitating greater inclusion, institutional leaders can ensure that our institutions deliver on the nation’s promise of higher education for all students. The Office of Equity and Inclusion at X University organize and host an annual equity and inclusion conference. The main goal of the conference is to engage campus community in meaningful conversation around topics of equity and inclusion. After moving the conference to a fully online virtual platform in 2021, due to the pandemic, (which exposed inequities among our students, faculty, and employees and illuminated the importance of addressing the different needs across these populations), a silver lining arose that shed light into how to address such inequities from the students’ perspectives.  For the past two years X University’s Equity and Inclusion conference has dedicated the third and final day of conference proceedings to students, as a student-track day for student-focused conference proceedings.   Sessions offered during the student-track day are full of student focused activities, topics and needs made available to all students, both locally and abroad. In fact, each session of the student-track day involved participatory student input throughout the planning process. Some of the topics discussed in the 2022 student-track conference proceedings were a sense of belonging; students mental health; full disclosure: speaking your truth student panel; inclusive student leadership and resilience. The student day provided students a platform to discuss equity and inclusion issues that impact them every day and develop and/or increase their skill set related to equity and inclusion contexts. The day also helped them increase their awareness, recognize the benefits of a diverse organization and community and the importance of equitable and inclusive practices, policies, and procedures. This paper will describe the planning of the student day, lessons learned, and student assessment of student day.
