LLCC Academic Innovation and eLearning and the Workforce Equity Initiative will host “Equity, Diversity and Inclusion for All” on Friday, Nov. 3, 1-4:30 p.m. in the Robert H. Stephens Room.
The expectation that organizations and institutions demonstrate an understanding of and commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) has been increasing over the last decade. In this workshop we’ll explore key terms and concepts related to EDI. Group discussions and activities allow participants to apply the material to their lives and work contexts. Participants will leave with a foundational understanding and practical tools for embedding equity in their personal and professional lives.
