The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Education Program supports the area of Inclusive Excellence within The Office of Academic Affairs. Our goal is to support campus-wide efforts in creating an equitable, socially just institution where all of our students, faculty and staff feel they are valued and belong. Our program offers a variety of educational experiences to enrich DEI efforts across the university and build the intradepartmental skills necessary for faculty and staff to achieve their unit/college’s DEI goals.

The disability community is the largest minoritized community in the world (The World Health Organization, 2023). This 90-minute workshop aims to help participants understand what ableism is and the many ways this system of oppression impacts the disability community. Participants will learn frameworks for understanding ableism and disability as well as concrete skills to interrupt ableism in our everyday lives.
