The Community for Diversity can provide facilitators for controversial issue resolution processes, disputes surrounding workplace diversity issues, and other topics. We are also able to connect you with outside facilitators or the Office of Equal Opportunity when appropriate.

Classroom Activities

Our office can work with you to provide diversity related presentations, activities, or assignments for your classroom. It is important that CNR students understand the value of diversity and posses the skills to meet the challenges and opportunities that diversity issues present. This is an integral part of their education that will help them to be truly competitive in this global marketplace.

Curriculum Consultations

Although specific diversity lesson plans and activities can be an important part of classroom learning, creating an inclusive curriculum all throughout the semester is just as key. We can help you find places in your existing lesson plan to incorporate diversity through inclusive language, examples, activities and other focal points.
