Equity & Inclusion Resources

As ACPA directs its energy toward addressing Racial Justice in Higher Education, CPAK mirrors that commitment with a focus on Colleges and Universities in the Commonwealth. We share the goal of providing opportunities for professional and personal growth rooted in racial decolonization and acknowledging racial justice as the core of the work we do daily. The Strategic Imperative for Racial Justice and Decolonization (SIRJD) helps us center that work. Below are a variety of resources for student affairs professionals related to the SIRJD.
