Fall 2017 Workplace Diversity Series
SERIES FOCUS: Including People with Disabilities in the Workplace
The purpose of this series is to enhance the capacity of faculty and staff as they engage on their daily campus activities to understand and learn about disability as an issue of diversity rather than difference, and of strength rather than deficit.
The skills and attitudes learned in this series can be applied to the workplace, the classroom, and in interpersonal and community contexts. We hope that the participants will serve as leaders in bringing awareness about issues related to disabilities across campus and affect changes in practices and policies.
Pre-registration is required. Participants who attend all sessions will earn a certificate of completion.
