Daniels and Foley are leading a series of workshops for University faculty and staff that address diversity and inclusion in and out of the classroom. University employees can choose to earn a LEAD Ally certificate by successfully completing all the workshops in the program.
They introduced us to several of the topics covered in their workshops: privilege, intersectionality, diversity, and inclusion. They also addressed how people can implement these concepts when teaching, at work, and in daily life as we all work towards a campus environment of “inclusive excellence.”
