Special Topics Trainings

Writing a Diversity Statement

Diversity statements are required of various individuals and groups, but what exactly are they, and how do you write them? This 1- to 2-hour training teaches participants to analyze the purpose of diversity statements and to use strategies to begin brainstorming and drafting a diversity statement, either as an individual or as a group.

White Identity and Anti-Racist Advocacy

Building on our Unlikely Allies in the Academy Series, this interactive workshop is designed to help White people examine their own identities and find a place in anti-racist advocacy.

Passing Perspectives

This 50-minute workshop uses a “Diversity Thumball” to initiate conversation about difference and our own personal perspectives. Catch the ball and if your thumb lands on questions such as “what makes you different,” “in what ways is your world diverse,” or “share a situation where you were in the minority,” you can share your own personal perspectives. The experience will help you learn more about yourself, your peers, and how diversity enriches us.

"Keep It Real" Game

“Keep it Real” board game: Your team of 5 to 18 will play diversity board game which provides participants with a powerful and enjoyable interactive experience of inclusion, bonding and bridge-building, while it facilitates a positive and dynamic environment. Facilitated dialogue will conclude this 1-1.5 hour teambuilding activity.
