in DEI leadership with the university. There is still staff interest in A Brave Space Cohort based learning program- one or two staff have expressed interest in joining as independent individuals. ■ ZOOM Conference held and attended by four Virginia LGU administrative staff. A timeline for recruitment of participants has been developed with a final selection occurring in mid March. The goals will be to have the cohort start in April. ■ A pre-test survey was developed and the link sent to Virginia LGU administration, to share with all who have expressed interest in the program, to identify success of recruitment avenues and projected outcomes with new knowledge.
○ Commitment of Land Grant University Partners:
■ West Virginia University and West Virginia State will both be participating.
● Mid-Term Outcomes: ○ Update of Curated Learning Resources document.
