Presentations and Workshops

• Every semester, we offer an introduction into implicit biases and microaggressions workshop as part of our commitment to foster an inclusive, anti-racist campus community.
• Implicit biases and microaggressions create inequities and contribute to an uncomfortable learning or working environment. This workshop, developed by the CIE team, introduces these concepts through a student-lens to increase their understanding of inequities on campus, and it serves as a prerequisite for many other programs such as the Identity & Allyship Awareness Badge (IAAB) Program.
• This is an hour and a half long interactive workshop.
• For workshop dates, please check this website.
• We also have an opportunity for you to take a self-paced version of this workshop called, Creating an Equity-Minded Campus Community. We hope this will provide the opportunity to support more informed conversations about inequities and social justice issues on your teams and across the campus. If you go straight through the content, it should take about 2-2.5 hours (120-180 min) to complete the 4 modules. Students can self-enroll.

Inclusive Leadership Awareness Training (ILAT)

Offered through the Center for Inclusive Excellence in collaboration with the Office of Restorative Practices and the Office of Dean of Students, this workshop promotes the understanding and reflection of identity, bias, and power within student leadership. This three hour workshop starts with introducing the concepts of implicit bias and microaggressions through a student-lens to increase the understanding of self-awareness and inequities on campus. The second half of this workshop focuses on inclusive communication strategies such as practicing empathy, affective language, and conflict styles to offer tangible skills when working through differences. This is based on the CIE development framework that guides our professional learning and development activities and recognizes that in order to become equitable and inclusive leaders, individuals must not only develop Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion (JEDI) knowledge and skills but must develop dispositions such as self-awareness, empathy, and that this is a continuous, on-going journey.
