All SUNY staff (especially those who interact often with students) and faculty are invited to participate in the SUNY Virtual Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Discussion Forum.
The goal of the program is give SUNY staff and faculty an opportunity to discuss diversity, equity and inclusion issues in higher education in a supportive environment to help them create the inclusive mindset they need to learn the competencies necessary to serve a diverse population of students and others on their campus.
The program will follow the same format as this past fall with a mix of asynchronous (not in real time) online discussions in Workplace as well as meetings in Zoom.
The first Zoom discussion will run from 1 to 2 p.m., on Thursday, Feb. 18. Senior Vice Chancellor for Strategic Initiatives and Chief Diversity Officer Teresa Miller will welcome the participants. RSVP for this discussion online.
While the Zoom discussions will not be recorded, additional monthly forums are in the plan (days/times TBD) in March, April and May.
The asynchronous discussions will continue as well in the Workplace group, which is available for online signup.
