This "community jam session" is intended to create space for brainstorming and sharing ways to elicit applicants' lived experiences and potential to contribute to your mission-driven pursuit of diversity and inclusion. 

Each session begins with a brief presentation of principles and/or research evidence about equitable, lawful use of these tools. Followed by a 30-40-minute breakout session where attendees can brainstorm with colleagues from around the country. Breakout rooms will be by discipline, recognizing that there are field-specific ways that programs engage with applicants. Finally, the sessions end with a 15-20 minute discussion in a large-group format, led by members of the EGE leadership team and steering committee.
