Signature Training Programs

Signature Training Programs


Our Signature Programs are open-enrollment learning opportunities designed for individuals who want to deepen their understanding of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Participants can join independently, connect with colleagues from across campus, and engage in interactive experiences that encourage reflection, discussion, and practical application.



Lunch & Learn

The Lunch & Learn series offers interactive learning experiences designed to help participants explore topics related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Through a combination of foundational content, guided reflection, and facilitated discussion, participants are invited to deepen their understanding, connect concepts to their own experiences, and learn from the perspectives of others.

Past Lunch & Learn Topics Include

  • What is Inclusion Anyway? Defining DEI
  • Intersectionality: Examining our Complex Identities
  • Microaggressions & Stereotypes
  • Introduction to Anti-Racism
  • Creating a Gender Inclusive Campus
  • Conflict & Communication
  • Power & Privilege
  • Beyond Allyship

Summer Coffee Chats

Summer Chats are casual, conversation-based learning circles that build on topics explored in previous Lunch & Learn sessions. Instead of featuring a traditional workshop format, these gatherings emphasize discussion, reflection, and practical application, creating space for participants to engage more deeply with corresponding toolkits, exchange ideas, and collaborate on strategies for fostering a more inclusive campus community.
