We are pleased to again offer a diversity workshop to be presented by the Kardia Group.
The objectives of the workshop are to:
- Provide an overview of key diversity concepts relating to gender, race/ethnicity, and other social identity factors
- Combine awareness with tools that support changes in attitude, behavior, and understanding
- Empower faculty and staff in their ability to make a contribution to a positive diverse environment
- Build on our history of commitment to diversity and inclusion and the college strategic plan of “empowering our people, enriching our culture”
The following are some quotes from last year’s participants:
- “…diversity is more than differences in race, nationality, and gender”
- “…it was an eye opener to realize what things truly effect the way I act and respond to things and others throughout my daily life…those identities that I take for granted, are great concerns for others, and vice versa…”
- “…awareness, learning and understanding must continue in order to promote and affect real change”
If you are interested in attending, please contact Debbie Luedtke at 4-5349 or dpmcdani@purdue.edu.
We are confident that you will find the experience to be very rewarding and look forward to your participation in this excellent opportunity.
