Reimagining Equity-Centered Education
The Office of Student Success and Global Engagement is excited to invite you to our November Table Talk! This month, we’re exploring how education can extend beyond the traditional classroom to create meaningful opportunities for learning, empowerment and community engagement.
Whether you’re interested in teaching, educational equity, community engagement or simply learning something new, we’d love to have you join the conversation!

Session Information
Join us as we welcome Xuwei (Sara) Luo, a doctoral student in Curriculum Studies, Ross-Lynn Research Scholar, Holmes Scholar and Project Director of the Purdue CDF Freedom School.
During this conversation, Sara will share how the CDF Freedom School serves as more than a literacy and empowerment program for children. We’ll explore how culturally responsive teaching, mentorship and community partnerships can help prepare future educators to create meaningful and equitable learning experiences.
