Professional Development Opportunities

We offer educational opportunities in areas of:

  • Preventing, Investigating and Reporting Sexual Harassment

  • Best Practices in Recruiting and Hiring faculty, Academic Staff, and Support Staff

  • Embracing Diversity in Excellence

  • Diversity and Inclusion

  • Biases, Stereotyping, and Micro-inequities

  • OUCH! That Stereotype Hurts

  • Inclusion Advocates:

Inclusions Advocates contribute to the equality of search and screening processes which lead to effective hiring decisions. The roles and responsibility of Inclusion Advocates are a formalized part of the hiring process and help committee members and hiring leaders fully embrace the value-added from Inclusion Advocates' participation in search and screening activities. Effective human resources strategies, in combination with primary current  legal considerations, are the foundation for the development and training of inclusion advocates.
