Personal Skills for a Diverse Campus (College Students)

This course is about how students can contribute to and get the most out of their educational experience and in any diverse community where they choose to live, learn and work. We’ll cover baseline definitions like “diversity,” “stereotype” and “microaggressions” as well as concepts like anticipating impact, using up-to-date and inclusive identity terms and ways to stop microaggressions. The topics include: higher education’s commitment to diversity and what it means for students, defining diversity inclusively, engaging comfortably with difference, examining assumptions, searching for similarities, anticipating impact and microaggressions and their impact.
