Inclusion, Access, Success (IAS)

This committee promotes and advocates for diversity, equity, and access while ensuring equal opportunities for post-secondary education across Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. In addition to planning inclusion- and access-focused workshops and professional development, the committee also offers Building Bridges Series presentations, book club studies, and other activities designed to support inclusion, access, and student success.

Building Bridges Series

GPACAC is offering a three-part virtual Building Bridges Series in the 2025–2026 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!
