NCBI Social Inclusion and Equity Full Day Workshop
by Green & Gold News |
UAA students, faculty and staff are invited to participate in an NCBI Social Inclusion and Equity full-day workshop, Friday, Feb. 17, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. in Gorsuch Commons, Room 106. Registration for this workshop is required by Wednesday, Feb. 15 and is limited to 20 participants. Lunch will be provided.
UAA is a campus affiliate of the National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI), an international leadership organization that works with colleges, universities and government agencies to create communities of belonging, increase cultural competence and eliminate racism and other forms of oppression.
The award-winning NCBI Social Inclusion and Equity Workshop is a full-day, experiential process with a series of incremental activities. Participants will have an opportunity to:
- Celebrate their similarities and differences as well as recognize the misinformation they have learned about various groups (including their own).
- Learn about and re-evaluate personal attitudes and behaviors that are based on the impact of prejudice and discrimination.
- Claim pride in their group identities.
- Understand the personal impact of discrimination through the telling of stories.
- Your attendance and participation will be recognized by our UAA Chancellor Sean Parnell with a certificate upon successful completion of the NCBI workshop.
Your voice and contribution will add value to the conversation and workshop experience. Please note: This is an experiential process, so it is important for participants to attend the entire workshop and receive the full benefit of the workshop model. We hope that you will be able to join us!
Register here by Feb 15th. To learn more, please visit the UAA National Coalition Building Institute website.
