On Wednesday, March 18, The University of Vermont will begin implementing social distancing measures, such as limiting indoor events to 25 attendees or fewer, to ensure the safety and health of the University community. Due to these measures, the BBJ Planning Committee regrets to announce that BBJ 13 has been canceled.
All registration fees for BBJ 13 will be refunded.
We are deeply saddened that the Symposium will not be taking place, however our primary focus remains the well-being of participants and the University community. We encourage you to take good care of yourselves by monitoring and following recommended health practices.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we navigate this complex and evolving situation.

Description
Universities and Colleges are complex, diverse, and multidimensional spaces for teaching, learning, and working. The Blackboard Jungle Symposium (BBJ) is designed for UVM faculty, staff, and all others wanting to participate in critical conversations, construct new and promising inclusive practices, and foster conversational spaces where diversity, equity, and the free exchange of ideas are welcomed, appreciated, and valued. BBJ is a collaborative opportunity to engage in an open, civil exchange of ideas, perspectives, and beliefs that will cultivate greater inclusivity of diverse populations and increase cultural understanding within communities.
