The Office of Diversity & Inclusion offers opportunities for education and outreach that advance awareness and facilitate positive growth in individuals and teams. We understand that implementing inclusive practices is an ongoing process that requires a community from varied lived experiences to be in constant conversation and curiosity. This is where the magic happens. Our team is ready to work alongside you on this educational journey by providing learning opportunities to increase cultural competence, challenge the status quo, and create strategies to promote inclusive excellence and equity throughout our campus. Our learning offerings include understanding diversity, equity and inclusion topics and making it real.
This form is shared across Diversity Training & Education, Bias Incident Support Services, The LGBTQ+ Equity Center, TerrapinSTRONG, and ADA Compliance so that we can connect you with the most relevant educators for your needs. If you would like to learn more about these offices, please explore the links above.
