The Higher Ed Forum fosters collaboration among higher education institutions, public school districts, and community organizations to enhance educational equity and resource distribution. This initiative includes monthly meetings, project management training, and a database for knowledge sharing. Participants engage in critical dialogues around social processes and access barriers, guided by established theories of practice in civic engagement. The aim is to create a cohesive framework for academic partnerships that facilitate better educational outcomes in the Tulsa area. Join us at our monthly sessions to get involved!
