Join the Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning’s Graduate Consultants for our Graduate Teaching Toolkit: Diversity Statements on January 27, 2025, from 11:30am – 1:00pm in the Barbie Tootle Room, Ohio Union. Lunch will be provided!

These specialized workshops are designed by graduate students, for graduate students, for exploring core competencies, supporting professional development, and building community across graduate students.

In this workshop, we will explore tips and conventions for writing diversity statements, a document that is commonly required for applications for faculty positions. This session is relevant for both GATA (Graduate Associate Teaching Award) applicants and graduate students who are preparing for the academic job market. Participants at any stage of the drafting process are welcome to attend. 

During this workshop, participants will...

·       Identify and avoid common diversity statement pitfalls. 

·       Structure a diversity statement around goals, methods, and impact. 

·       Reflect on what they are currently doing to contribute to diversity, equity, or inclusion in their teaching, research, and service. 

All graduate students, regardless of teaching experience, are welcome to attend! To learn more, and to register: https://ohiostate.csod.com/ui/lms-learning-details/app/event/34644bc5-19b5-4e1f-b92e-511428bfa908
