Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

NONCREDIT CERTIFICATE
Social Evolution
Realize the true promise of diversity, equity and inclusion — in yourself, in your organization, in your community — by developing a deeper understanding of the language and legacy of race and ethnicity. According to a McKinsey and Company Study, organizations with a diverse and inclusive workforce are 35% more likely to have above-average profit margins.
We have launched a new noncredit Certificate Program, which will create a shared understanding based on terminology, general cultural context, as well as determining how and what communities and workplaces can do to be more inclusive, equitable and multicultural.

In the DEI Certificate Program, we will discuss the complexities of cultural and societal biases and how they manifest in our conversations, interactions, and engagement with workplaces and community. Over the course of eight weeks, you will gain a deeper understanding of the language, ramifications, and short-and long-term outcomes of these biases. We will be examining culture regarding class, race, sexuality, ability, and gender specifically. We will explore two identities more thoroughly, relating to classism and socioeconomic realities and mental health and illness. We will review the content and concepts across identities and how they may present themselves at work, in organizations and communities of diverse people. You will be provided with an understanding of the structures in place that create group dynamic, group thinking and culture of and around inclusion and exclusion. You will also develop a DEI project action plan for how you might create a change needed in your particular work, organization or community.
The program also includes five virtual/live sessions which will provide opportunities to further your consideration and discussion about identities and topics of interest as well as engage in deeper dive conversations. Participants must attend a minimum of two of the optional one-hour sessions and are welcome and encouraged to attend all. The program will conclude with a mandatory 90-minute virtual/live panel discussion with experts doing DEI work.
