UB’s Inclusive Excellence Summit (May 3-4, 2018) offered a unique opportunity for our campus to come together as a community to promote understanding and explore new ways to increase diversity, equity and inclusion at UB.
Designed to encourage participants to lean into discomfort and to create a culture of dialogue on campus, DIFCON brings UB students, faculty and staff together to address important issues and explore different viewpoints.
