Workshops

In response to student requests, the Diversity and Inclusion Committee (DNIC) with support from Dean Molgaard has arranged a series of six DEI virtual workshops. The workshops are held once a month from 6-8pm and cover a range of topics. Recent workshop titles include, "Beyond Diversity 101" and "Advancing Racial Equity: History, Conext, Privilege". Recordings and resources from the workshops are available to CVM faculty/staff/students on the college's intranet for continued education.
