WORKSHOPS

The Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion believes that all teaching and learning experiences should affirm the dignity and humanity of all people and develop a critical consciousness to the world around us. Our community grows when we deepen our understanding through diverse perspectives and apply that knowledge to daily practice.

The Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion offers various educational opportunities for faculty and staff that encourage self-reflection, understanding and individual growth. The Education and Training Pillar offers the Advancing Equity and Justice Curriculum and additional advanced single sessions. We look forward to engaging with our community.
