Workshops and Trainings
The Center for Equity and Social Justice's "Cultural Competencies Series" is designed to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation for the diverse cultures and perspectives that enrich our community.
The "Cultural Competencies Series" aims to provide a platform for open dialogue, learning, and growth in the realm of cultural awareness. Through a range of workshops, seminars, and events, we intend to equip participants with the tools needed to engage effectively and respectfully in our diverse community.
We believe that by actively engaging in conversations about culture, identity, and inclusivity, we can create a more inclusive and equitable environment for all members of our college community. The series will cover various topics including but not limited to:
- Cultural Sensitivity in Academic and Professional Environments
- Implicit Bias and Its Impact on Decision-Making
- Allyship and Advocacy for Underrepresented Communities
- Celebrating Diversity: Exploring Different Cultural Traditions
We invite students and all members of the college community to participate in these enriching sessions. Your attendance and active engagement will not only contribute to your personal and professional growth but will also play a vital role in fostering a culture of inclusivity within our institution. The modality of these workshops will be either hybrid or online only to allow for greater access to information.
