New Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion online training for students launched

All students are enrolled in the new program. Completing the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Students by EverFi is a significant step in helping Florida Atlantic University welcome diversity, address ongoing societal problems and uphold the university’s commitment to equity and inclusion. As one of the most culturally diverse universities in the country, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Students is an integral part of our university’s effort to continue to provide varied educational, leadership and engagement opportunities that successfully support all students. In doing so, members of the FAU community can learn and discuss issues related to diversity, inclusion and equity in a respectful teaching and learning environment.

As you take this course, keep in mind that our campus is a community that cares and looks out for each other, regardless of background or experiences. The course materials will provide education, resources, and policies that not only assist you during your time at FAU, but in your graduate and professional life afterward. We hope this course encourages you to think about important issues such as social justice, identity, power, privilege and oppression. We look forward to continuing to do our part in moving the needle of racial equity forward. For more information or questions, go to the resources tab of the program or contact FAU’s Center for Inclusion, Diversity Education, and Advocacy (IDEAs) at ideas@fau.edu.
