Evaluation of Creating and Sustaining an Inclusive Campus Culture 

Part 1:  Diversity, Inclusivity & Civility: Developing & Enhancing Students' Cultural Competence (2-Part Workshop)

Description: It takes a campus community to create inclusive and civil environments wherein students, faculty, and staff feel welcomed, are encouraged to do their best work, are treated with respect and dignity, and are valued for who they are. This session will increase participants awareness of difference and consider how issues of diversity can impede the development of inclusive communities. It will examine issues of implicit cultural assumptions, stereotyping, and biases and consider how attitudes toward race and gender operate at a conscious and unconscious level. The session will support participants to expand their cultural competence and ability to make distinctions, and encourage them to use their natural empathy in relations with others in order to strengthen their campus communities.
