UNC Greensboro strives to create safe and inclusive environments in our classrooms including, but not limited to, all ethnicities, racial backgrounds, religions, ability status, socioeconomic backgrounds, first-generation status, sexuality, and gender identities. Equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) are our core values as an institution, but we must continue the conversations about how to do this important work on a daily basis.

That’s the goal of our Small Steps, Big Impact podcast: on-going conversations about EDI in our classrooms.

Dr. Brad Johnson, podcast host, works to bring a theory-to-practice approach to his courses by incorporating over 20 years of experience working in Student Affairs and Higher Education, primarily within housing and residence life.

You can subscribe to the podcast via Podbean, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, or iHeartRadio. Just search “Small Steps, Big Impact in Higher Ed.”
