2022 Diversity University Sessions
Educating Children of Color, Inc is excited to offer multiple sessions of Diversity University during the Summer of 2022. The cost is $80 for Diversity University and $100 for Diversity University II. Enrollment is limited.
The purpose of Diversity University is to provide inclusion and diversity training to improve the ability of professionals and the community to respond to the needs of a culturally diverse population. Diversity University is designed to increase equity and justice by helping individuals address their biases and leverage their power to address problems of disparate treatment of individuals.
If you have attended Diversity University and want to go to the next level, please join us for Diversity University II. This is an opportunity to delve deeper into implicit bias and its impact.
"Diversity University is a ripple that inspires the waters. By introducing the above concepts and activities to lessons I am confident our school culture can continue to grow, learn and accept. These concepts will improve and energize our current path to a welcoming environment. Personally I appreciate the thoughtful call to action Diversity University inspires. I am reminded (ok dating myself here) of the ancient Faberge commercial “and they tell two friends..and they tell two friends… and so on”. Slowly and intentionally, by sharing our new knowledge and continuing to learn we can inspire, encourage and motivate." - 2021 Diversity University Participant

Feedback
“Was it worth it? Words are inadequate to describe this experience. Not easy to go thru emotionally, but outstanding presentation. Transforming.”
"To be bold, take opportunities where they are, to plant the seeds of kindness and change. I can’t even put into words the change that has come over me this week. I came expecting to be ‘taught’ how to teach others. What I got was a lesson on me. I have found myself, my spark, my inspiration to draw from. Who I am, where I’ve been and where I’m going. Realizing how I can be a force for change from within to make a difference in the hearts and minds of those around me."

Feedback
"I loved the small group and the safe space to process. I value the feedback from other group members. The personal narrative, problem-solving, and the group project were all excellent assignments. Thank you for giving us not only tools, but also time and space to practice using them. I love the cohort idea for level 3, with or without a project to bring. This work is a heavy lift with a lot to unpack. Thank you both for providing a space to land."
