Hal Morgan, senior director of accreditation and online education at University of Phoenix, will be moderating during an Awards Live Conversation with awards recipients. Mr. Morgan serves as the UPCEA West Region Board Member-at-Large and the West Region Awards Committee co-chair.

Alexandra Escobar, director of programmatic accreditation and regulatory compliance, and Saray Lopez, director of student diversity and inclusion at University of Phoenix, will be co-presenting on institutional and program perspectives of how to foster community and belonging for non-traditional college students and part-time faculty. “We wanted to highlight how large-scale University initiatives around Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging contribute to more focused college and efforts and vice versa,” shares Ms. Escobar. “We are excited to share how University of Phoenix has fostered community through cross-departmental collaboration by highlighting initiatives developed by the Office of Educational Equity and College of Education’s DEI Council.”
