Diversity Workshops and Seminars

The Multicultural Center offers an array of diversity education opportunities that target biases, misconceptions, stereotypes, prejudices, beliefs, and values. These focal points provide students, faculty, and staff with an opportunity to unpack thoughts, behaviors, and practices that stifle diversity progress.

Benefits of our workshops and seminars include: 

  • Learning the information and skills to lead diversity education conversations.
  • Addressing biased perspectives and comments effectively.
  • Developing techniques for managing diverse perspectives and languages.
  • Understanding the benefits of diversity education.
  • Developing a diverse perspective on class, race, gender, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, and anti-semitism.
  • Learning to present information in a clear, concise, and engaging manner.
  • Learning effective strategies for understanding complex issues surrounding diversity.

This is an interactive media resource designed to engage participants in a conversation-starter for diversity and multicultural topics. The video presentation includes seven vignettes designed to promote awareness and appreciation of diversity while addressing personal biases to prevent discrimination and disrespectful behavior. Topics include race, gender, disability, national origin, sexual orientation, class, and anti-semitism. DEEP Impact’s objective is to create an environment of trust, respect, and inclusion and move the conversation from tolerance to advocacy. View more information about DEEP Impact.
