Iverson Bell Midwest Regional Diversity Summit
The first Iverson Bell Regional Diversity Summit was held at Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in partnership with Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine in May 2016. The focus of the 2016 Summit was disabilities. The Summit provided the opportunity to address difficult issues, share strategies, and identify recommendations, and evidence based practice. Further, the Summit provided participants with a rich understanding of the definition of the term disability and the surrounding terminologies, the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, and ways to include individuals with disabilities to create a competitive edge for academic institutions. The Iverson Bell Regional Diversity Summit has now been expanded to include other areas of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as well as become a host site for Midwestern Colleges of Veterinary Medicine.
