Helping employees maximize their potential

Breadcrumb

The eight-month Making Excellence Inclusive Diversity Certificate Program will guide participants through a series of learning activities designed to emphasize the commitment to equity and inclusion as a core value in an increasingly diverse campus environment.

The program is developed around the belief that individuals learn most effectively when they discover, understand, and apply their new knowledge to the real-world situations they face in the university environment.

  • Workshops – led by leading authorities representing a broad cross section of diversity topics
  • Discussion Sessions – participants share their thoughts on the topic areas
  • Capstone Projects – Create a practical application of the concepts; develop an innovative project or policy recommendation that will improve staff engagement and workplace culture with an inclusive climate in mind.
  • Project Presentation – Presentation of capstone initiatives and demonstration of participants’ understanding of the Making Excellence Inclusive Diversity Certificate Program
