EQUITY THROUGH EMPOWERMENT
Process Education is about empowering each person to
realize that they have unlimited potential. Equity
is about the values, intentional efforts and
designed programs that colleges have put in place to
develop the mindset and abilities for each student,
faculty member, and staff person to pursue their
self-growth. The 2017 Process Education Conference
will explore multiple dimensions of how Process
Education and its set of practice and values
increase equity in Higher Education. The goal of
this year's conference is to enhance equal
opportunity for all stakeholders in America to
achieve success in Higher Education through Process
Education philosophy, principles, and practices. The
host institution, California Health Sciences
University, has the mission to 'Enhance access to
Health Education' which is shared in spirit by the
Academy of Process Educators which believes in
'Access and Success for Every Student'.
