This committee works to promote fairness, belonging, and expanded access to post-secondary opportunities across Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. We are committed to cultivating welcoming environments where all of our members feel respected and valued - and where students can see themselves in their unique educational pathways. In addition to coordinating workshops and professional development focused on student-centered and supportive practices, the committee also leads the Building Bridges Series, book discussions, and other initiatives designed to strengthen connections, expand opportunity, and support student success.

GPACAC is offering a three-part virtual Building Bridges Series in the 2026-2027 academic year. Each session will feature an expert who will educate our members on timely topics centered around inclusion, access, and equity. Members who participate in all three Building Bridges Series events will earn a Building Bridges Series certification!
