DEI 101 WORKSHOP SERIES
Want to learn about topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, but aren’t sure where to start? DEI 101 workshops provide a free, low pressure space to learn the basics about different issues and ask questions.
Click here to sign up for any of our workshops, then stop by the Center for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in-person (MA Building, Room 1150) or join us online for a free new workshop every other Wednesday and Thursday.
Participants will learn definitions and fundamental concepts around gender, sex, and sexual identities, and explore how these relate to their own lives and work.
LET'S TALK ABOUT __________!
Are you a student who is looking for a place to ask questions and share your thoughts? Then stop by Let’s Talk About ________! every other Wednesday at 11 a.m.
Look for our table outside the IE building to hear, share, and discuss what fellow Geckos have to say about issues in our communities!
