Trainings
The work of fostering diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging begins with increasing self-awareness and building competency. The below education and training opportunities can help you in your journey.

Online Diversity & Inclusion Module
The University of Kansas has launched new diversity education module for staff and faculty. The “Diversity and Inclusion” online module directly responds to continued community calls for additional education regarding diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging for all members of the KU community. This module helps us establish a shared language and understanding of DEI concepts. It helps us prepare to name and confront bias and discrimination.
Introduction to DEIB
In this training, participants will learn and define implicit bias and microaggressions, the ways they are formed, and their negative impacts. Through scenario-based practice, participants will learn to be active bystanders to address microaggression, exclusion, and inequity.
Supervision through an Inclusive Lens
During this session, participants will be able to differentiate practices and barriers to becoming an inclusive supervisor. Through scenario-based examples, we will explore opportunities to incorporate these practices within different work environments.
SafeZone
The Center for Sexuality & Gender Diversity (SGD) provides SafeZone training which helps to give allies the tools to make their spaces more accommodating and affirming for queer and trans* (QT) students. This training is the first in a series of three major workshops which provide the first steps towards allyship.
Student Social Justice Training
The Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) offers a variety of trainings to KU students looking to further their journeys in social justice and equity work.
