The Art & Science of DEI
Program Overview
In today’s workplace, there is a critical need for employees to understand how issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) impact their work, and the work of their colleagues. Through exposure to a variety of DEI approaches, practices, and tools, students will learn that teams with many backgrounds and perspectives result in better outcomes, and encourage active listening, empathy, and connection. Deepen your knowledge, access best practices and tools, and cultivate the support needed to launch any DEI professional’s work.
The Piper Center for Vocation & Career is partnering with The Diversity Institute to offer a 3-session training program to students interested in gaining a better understanding of DEI in the workplace. Students will receive a Professional Certification of Completion. The Piper Center will pay for all certification expenses.
