Students from marginalized backgrounds might be disadvantaged from the start due to cultural mismatch. Explicitly teach students institutional cultural norms. @NWOmari #sicon18

Our campus welcomes must be more than words: supported by actions. Small gestures can have big results. Increased emphasis must be placed on accessibility. Eliminate barriers. @NWOmari #sicon18

Inclusivity and diversity often go hand in hand, but attempts are often superficial or nonexistent. Simply inviting people to sit at your table is not enough. @NWOmari #sicon18

What does it mean to be inclusive? Digging deeper than given definitions: Replace “the intention” with “the act of.” A culture of including people who might otherwise be marginalized. @NWOmari #sicon18

For trauma impacted individuals, finding community could mean finding healing. They should be the ones who determine what our campuses need. Make sure those who have been directly impacted are part of the creation of solutions. @NWOmari #sicon18

How are we a community if we have nothing in common and no unity? Sharing space in close proximity is not enough. Don’t underestimate the power of your language. You words can either speak life or speak death. @NWOmari #sicon18

We must do all we can to ensure that trauma-impacted students receive as much support as privileged students, if not more. @NWOmari #sicon18

Trauma & adversity can = undiagnosed mental health disorders in our college students. Our students are not immune to suffering and disability. People flee environments they perceive to be the source of their stress. @NWOmari #sicon18

What we don’t see are all of the hidden challenges we had to push through to succeed. Childhood adversity can have a direct effect on our ability to be successful in college. @NWOmari #sicon18

@NWOmari telling his story of resilience and triumph in the face of systemic barriers and personal adversity. College wasn’t easy: “no one reached out” to offer guidance. That’s a failure indeed. We can do better. #sicon18

Excited to be listening to the Keynote Address by @NWOmari Omari Amili. From a childhood of poverty, incarceration, and a culture of addiction within his family, Omari rose through education. #sicon18

SI Principle #4: we’ve only failed if we stop before we get to a good ending point. We are most proud of that for which we have had to work hard. What’s really important: resilience, perseverance. @bichelmeyer #sicon18 #silsummit18

An educator is primarily a motivator. Educators should also take the Hippocratic Oath: no educational malpractice. Do no harm. @bichelmeyer #sicon18 #silsummit18

Principle #2 for SI: people with a fixed mindset are far less likely to flourish in life than people with a growth mindset. The ultimate purpose of SI is to build growth mindset in our students. Keynote @bichelmeyer #sicon18 #silsummit18
