We’re all trying to make our T&E programs serve our institutions the best we can, though we don’t know what we don’t know. We need to listen to our travelers about experiences and improvement opportunities related to abilities/disabilities, gender identities/expressions, and other requirements tied to things we can perceive and those that are less obvious. Panel discussion where Higher Education travelers tell us the good, the bad, and the ugly experiences they’ve had and how this perspective can make our programs better.
