Dr. Barbara Carey-Shuler Equity Institute

As part of its commitment to fostering student-centered learning experiences, Palm Beach State College established the Dr. Barbara Carey-Shuler Equity Institute in 2019. The Equity Institute is named after Dr. Barbara Carey-Shuler, a local philanthropist and former longtime educator and elected official. The Equity Institute supports the College's mission to provide "accessible, student-centered teaching and learning experiences" by providing support and resources to underserved, underresourced and underrepresented students to ensure their success. Students who participate in the Institute's offerings receive wraparound support, learn personal management skills, and develop their ability to advocate for themselves and utilize available resources to continue their personal and professional growth.
