Initiating Greater Inclusion in Your Work: How IOI Can Help
Brought to you by the ALVSCE Perspectives on Diversity & Inclusion Series
Initiating Greater Inclusion in Your Work (Live Online Event)
Wednesday, September 16
Noon/12 - 1 pm
Via Zoom, Register Today
Since George Floyd was murdered and #BlackLivesMatter gained much broader support from across diverse communities, there has been an increase in interest in trainings, workshops, and practices to make units, departments, and organizations more inclusive and equitable. The space between a desire for organizational change and actually making that change a reality, however, is wide, and there are often multiple competing stakeholders in this change process, as well as foundational knowledge about power, opportunity, and equity to be acquired. IOI is here to help you through this time as a unit, or individually in your own leadership, teaching, advising, and programming.
We offer a variety of free DEI related resources, support services, and trainings for faculty, staff, and students, and we are leading the institution’s response to the rise in anti-Asian harassment and hate due to COVID-19. We also house a large amount of data on BIPOC students’ experiences at the University of Arizona, and we use this in collaboration with other units and coalitions to work for change on campus. Collectively our work is focused on supporting individuals and units as they engage in focus on organizational change for greater equity and inclusion.
