​
Diversity University II takes participants on a deeper exploration of inclusion, diversity, and equity. This program equips individuals with advanced tools and strategies to address complex challenges within their communities and organizations. Participants delve into intricate topics such as implicit bias, systemic inequality, and cultural competence, gaining the knowledge and skills necessary to effect meaningful change..
Attending Diversity University was a powerful and emotional journey. It challenged the unconscious biases we all have and reminds us to not believe everything we think. Exploring these difficult topics in an open and safe setting allowed myself to really hear where others were coming from in regards to their experience or perception of law enforcement.
From a law enforcement perceptive with everything going on, it taught us how to put our ego aside and start on the journey learning to love beyond ourselves and to reach out and wipe the tears of those who grieve."
~ A representative of the Colorado Springs Police Department

We are a feedback-driven organization
we pride ourselves in collecting feedback and tracking metrics. The overall 2023 Diversity University evaluation was completed by over 200 participants!
+40% Increase
In KNOWLEDGE, SKILL, and COMFORT
At the culmination of the week-long versions of Diversity University, participants were asked to rank their KNOWLEDGE, SKILL, and COMFORT before the week and how they ranked that knowledge at the end of the week. They were asked to use a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 is clueless and 5 is fully enlightened.
The increase in KNOWLEDGE, SKILL, and COMFORT reported by the participants was 40% or more in all categories except for comfort in negotiating a culturally sensitive plan (educational, legal, or medical), and comfort in addressing cross-cultural conflicts in communication. The increase in comfort in both of those areas was 39%.
