Equity Leaders Fellowship 2025

Fellowship for leaders in CSU Colleges of Education who are working on a specific equity issue. Twelve leaders have been selected from a competitive process and are meeting virtually once per month throughout the Spring 2025 semester. Sessions will follow an arc of learning focused on: 

  • Leading Self (reflecting on our own positionalities, reactions, and our visions for the work)
  • Leading Others (candidly observing the current reality at our schools and identifying supporters and obstacles to the work)
  • Leading Community (ideas for investing others, building teams, and integrating equity work into all other work) 

For more information, see the Fellowship SharePoint Site .
