Dave Merry, Associate Provost and Executive Director of the Center for Career Equity, Development, and Success at Suffolk University, shares how his team is working to improve career equity, address systemic bias, and provide equitable support for all students.

“It [career equity] means not everyone has the same, but everyone has what they need. We try to really question how we can target and tailor our resources in a way that, to some, sometimes feels like we are providing more resources to some students. And that's because we are. We recognize that some students need more support or need different support, and that's part of what career equity is,” Dave says.

In the episode, Dave discusses:

  • How his team defines career equity (and why it’s so important)
  • How his team is working to improve career equity (including several specific strategies)
  • Why he hired a Director of Career Equity and Access on his team
  • Why his team launched their annual Career Equity Conference (and what it entails)
  • What results his team has seen
  • How they measure success
  • And more
