"Creating a culture of Civility & Responsibility"

Friday, April 20, 2012 at the UW Stevens Point


Student affairs professionals play a significant role in creating and maintaining a campus culture that embraces equity, diversity, and inclusivity. If we are successful, this culture promotes an educational environment that is civil, supportive and nurturing. The alternative is a climate that breeds bullying, hostility, and intimidation.



We are pleased to announce that our keynote speaker for this year is Dr. Karen Heikel. Dr. Heikel serves as Assistant Vice Chancellor for the Division of Lifelong Learning and Community Engagement at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Dr. Heikel is also a member of the Oshkosh Civility Project Core Team, which is committed to “build a stronger and more diverse community by actively sharing our ideas and opinions with others in thoughtful and considerate ways. By practicing this basic commitment to civility, we learn and grow from one another – even in disagreement.”
