DEI Classroom

Our team offers a series of courses we have packaged as the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Classroom. We believe trainings and learning opportunities should be more accessible to smaller groups and interested individuals without having to belong to a group that is requesting and/or receiving these trainings, and these sessions aim to do just that.

If there are training topics you would like to see added to the DEI classroom series, please contact Assistant Director for Prevention, Education and Youth Protection, Cortney Simmons. Other trainings may be requested here: https://wvu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6iiMX7QcxCb7qCx

Events may be canceled or rescheduled any point leading up to the event in the circumstance of no registered participants.
