We accomplish this goal through interactive media, positive response techniques, and activities that encourage empathetic understanding through exploring real life identities.

Building on recently developed skill sets to speak up, 4.0 empowers participants to proactively combat bias and prejudicial statements/behaviors made on campus. Participants will engage in activities that assess:
  • Where are we now?
    The current state of diversity, equity and inclusion
  • Where do we want to be?
    What a warm, welcoming, diverse, and inclusive Washington University School of Medicine would look like
  • What does it take to get there?
