Description
re you looking for ways to increase the number of diverse students utilizing your services? Are you struggling with ways to address taboo work-related topics such as “whitening” the resume, omitting student organizations linked to race or sexual orientation, being “out” in the work place and/or how to tackle issues of discrimination? Learn best practices and strategies from the Under the Surface series, a forum designed to create a safe environment for Black, Latino and LGBTQ students to freely discuss their diversity-related concerns with panelists. This workshop will help you design programming specific to your institution and the needs of your students.
