As students return to Portland State virtually this fall after months of social distancing, remote learning in spring and summer, and social unrest boiling into the streets of Portland and across the country around the violence committed against Black bodies, we must ask ourselves what barriers are keeping students from being successful within higher education and what we can do to break down those barriers. This fall the Certificate of Innovation in College Teaching program will sponsor a new kind of Teaching Innovation Conference that will include exciting keynote speakers, Daily “Breaking Barriers” Challenges, and Community Round Tables where you’ll have the opportunity to share how you are challenging yourself to break barriers in higher education.
