One of the fundamental responsibilities of higher education is to provide open and equal opportunities for students to learn, succeed, and positively contribute to their local, national, and global societies. Great strides are being made in increasing educational access, retention completion, and success, yet there is still work to be done particularly for students from disadvantaged or marginalized groups. Unprecedented shifts in migration patterns are causing demographic changes around the world. Additionally, governments, societies, and higher education institutions are increasingly recognizing the need and responsibility to create legal and institutional frameworks for providing more and better opportunities for people from historically marginalized groups to gain access and achieve success at the university level.
From South Africa’s “Historically Disadvantaged Institutions,” to Brazil’s “Law of Social Quotas,” and a long tradition of “Minority Serving Institutions” in the United States, just to name a few, higher education institutions committed to providing educational opportunities for local communities marginalized along ethnic, racial, religious or other lines can be found on every continent. What’s more, in light of shifting demographics and the growing focus on educational opportunity and access, increasing numbers of colleges and universities will be serving students from marginalized groups. For too long, institutions serving students at the margins have operated in a vacuum, failing to collaborate across institutional types and across nations. This Salzburg session will bring together leaders from institutions serving marginalized populations with policy makers and researchers to develop a platform for finding solutions to these institutions’ common challenges and capitalizing on their strengths.
This program is being designed and implemented in partnership with the recently launched Center for Minority Serving Institutions at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education and with Educational Testing Service. From 2010 to 2012, Salzburg Global and Educational Testing Service collaborated on a series of sessions on “Optimizing Talent: Closing Educational and Social Mobility Gaps Worldwide.”

Dopo aver illuminato lo Stadio G. Meazza di Milano con il suo evento Tutto Accade a San Siro, Alessandra Amoroso arriva mercoledì 21 dicembre al Mediolanum Forum di Assago con il Tutto Accade Tour 2022.
Anche questo show, come tutti i precedenti di Alessandra Amoroso, sarà all’avanguardia e innovativo ma anche carico di intimità e emozione.
"L'uguaglianza di genere e le pari opportunità, nella musica come nella vita, passano dalle azioni e non solo dalle parole".
Così Alessandra Amoroso, alla vigilia della chiusura del Tutto Accade Tour 2022, spiega perché durante le sue 13 tappe ha messo a disposizione il suo palco a 13 giovani artiste del nuovo panorama musicale italiano.
In occasione di questo tour, Alessandra Amoroso e Spotify Equal hanno infatti unito le forze per sostenere una musica senza genere e con pari opportunità. Equal, lanciato in Italia nel 2021, è il programma globale di Spotify che promuove l'equità di genere nella musica. Solo 1 artista su 5 nelle classifiche è donna, un dato in netto contrasto con il ruolo chiave e la grande influenza delle donne sia nel successo di Spotify che dell'industria musicale in generale.
A precedere Amoroso sul palco milanese è Federica Abbate, cantautrice comunque già molto conosciuta nell’ambiente, visto che la sua firma è dietro i successi di molto pop italiano degli ultimi anni, da Giusy Ferreri a Marco Mengoni passando per Fedez, Arisa, Noemi, Elisa e Francesca Michielin.

D6700, the pioneer English Electric Type 3 or Class 37, at the National Railway Museum in York. Under the TOPS numbering system, this locomotive was 37 119 and then 37 350. Shame the NRM chooses to hide some of these first generation British diesels well away from the main spectator areas.
Fort Buchanan, PR-An Equal Opportunity (EO) course was conducted from 18-23 Jun at the US Army Reserve headquarters. The EO program formulates, directs, and sustains a comprehensive effort to maximize human potential to ensure fair treatment for military personnel, family members, and civilians without regard to race, color, gender, religion, or national origin, and provide an environment free of unlawful discrimination and offensive behavior.
The Panel numbers (or Pier and Face) quoted at the end of each entry relate to the panels dedicated to the Regiment served with. In some instances where a casualty is recorded as attached to another Regiment, his name may alternatively appear within their Regimental Panel (or Pier and Face). Please refer to the on-site Memorial Register Introduction to determine the alternative panel numbers (or Pier and Face) if you do not find the name within the quoted Panels (or Pier and Face).
On 1 July 1916, supported by a French attack to the south, thirteen divisions of Commonwealth forces launched an offensive on a line from north of Gommecourt to Maricourt. Despite a preliminary bombardment lasting seven days, the German defences were barely touched and the attack met unexpectedly fierce resistance. Losses were catastrophic and with only minimal advances on the southern flank, the initial attack was a failure. In the following weeks, huge resources of manpower and equipment were deployed in an attempt to exploit the modest successes of the first day. However, the German Army resisted tenaciously and repeated attacks and counter attacks meant a major battle for every village, copse and farmhouse gained. At the end of September, Thiepval was finally captured. The village had been an original objective of 1 July. Attacks north and east continued throughout October and into November in increasingly difficult weather conditions. The Battle of the Somme finally ended on 18 November with the onset of winter.
In the spring of 1917, the German forces fell back to their newly prepared defences, the Hindenburg Line, and there were no further significant engagements in the Somme sector until the Germans mounted their major offensive in March 1918.
The Thiepval Memorial, the Memorial to the Missing of the Somme, bears the names of more than 72,000 officers and men of the United Kingdom and South African forces who died in the Somme sector before 20 March 1918 and have no known grave. Over 90% of those commemorated died between July and November 1916. The memorial also serves as an Anglo-French Battle Memorial in recognition of the joint nature of the 1916 offensive and a small cemetery containing equal numbers of Commonwealth and French graves lies at the foot of the memorial.
The memorial, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, was built between 1928 and 1932 and unveiled by the Prince of Wales, in the presence of the President of France, on 1 August 1932 (originally scheduled for 16 May but due to the death of French President Doumer the ceremony was postponed until August).
The dead of other Commonwealth countries, who died on the Somme and have no known graves, are commemorated on national memorials elsewhere.
