Welcoming Diversity Forum

The Welcoming Diversity Forum aims to create a setting in which the graduate community can actively engage in dialogue and continued education surrounding topics of diversity as they relate to current events, community climate, and interdisciplinary relations. The forum provides an environment in which students, staff, and faculty members can collaborate to inform, foster inclusion, cultivate cultural humility, and self-reflect.

The Welcoming Diversity Forum convenes one Friday each month from 12:00 to 12:55 p.m. in room 206 of the Psychology Building.
