Communication workshops


Equity, diversity and inclusion


This Anti-Racism Workshop Series is a two-part training program. The first session is theory based and designed to encourage reflection upon contemporary concepts and issues around race as well as racism history. We also pay particular attention to the manifestations and maintenance of racism in the workplace. The second part involves an applied approach, designed to promote, and implement anti-racism best practices through scenarios. The goal of this program is to foster awareness, understanding, and adoption of anti-racism best practices across the campus community with foundational knowledge and tools.

Communication can take different forms, written, face-to-face, online, group or collaborative, and digital. This workshop will focus on the importance of using inclusive and non-ableist language when communicating with peers, co-workers, employers, and instructors. Using inclusive language can help build stronger relationships and further your ability to thrive in an increasingly diverse society.

Presenting


You have 30 seconds to pitch your most brilliant idea to a stranger. How do you introduce yourself? and what do you choose to say?

This workshop will help you tell your story and build an effective elevator pitch that captures the listener's attention and leaves them curious to know more about you and your idea.

You only get one chance to pitch your idea... Make it count!
