Diversity is much more than race and ethnicity, it is the mosaic of who we are. Throughout our lives we have received messages about gender, sexual orientation, economic and social status,
birthplace, etc. These messages have and continue to influence who we are and who we will become, and sometimes cause us to treat others with less than complete respect. If you are someone who wants
to make a difference and is ready for a stimulating day of challenge and active learning, plan to attend this NCBI day-long workshop. Facilitators will lead participants through a number of exercises
aimed at identifying and reducing prejudice, gaining a more in-depth understanding of ourselves, and of oppression and how it works. In addition to an increased level of awareness, participants will
be introduced to specific skills that can empower them to become more effective leaders and allies for others. This is a repeat of the February 10 workshop and will be the last this academic year.
There is no charge, and everyone is welcome, but you must pre-register! Workshop goals include: identifying misinformation we have learned about others; identifying and expressing pride in groups we
belong to; learning how other groups experience mistreatment; learning the personal impact of incidents of discrimination; learning how to interrupt prejudicial remarks. Pre-registration required.
