Description

This presentation will describe efforts of the Alaska LEND Program to strengthen diversity in all program components. One initiative entailed the recruitment of an adjunct faculty member of Alaska Native heritage from a rural community. The faculty member leads the faculty and Fellows in multiple ways including ensuring the integration of cultural and linguistic competence and developing strategies to improve the recruitment and retention of diverse faculty and Fellows.
