NCBI Social Inclusion & Equity Virtual Workshop

UAA is a campus affiliate of the National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI), an international leadership organization that works with colleges, universities and government agencies to create communities of belonging, increase cultural competence and eliminate racism and other forms of oppression.

An NCBI Social Inclusion & Equity Virtual Workshop will be held on Friday, April 12 from 9a.m.-2 p.m. via Zoom. This workshop is open to all UAA students, faculty and staff, but is limited to 20 participants.

The award-winning NCBI Social Inclusion and Equity Workshop is a half-day, experiential process with a series of incremental activities. Participants will have an opportunity to:

  • Celebrate their similarities and differences as well as recognize the misinformation they have learned about various groups (including their own).
  • Learn about and re-evaluate personal attitudes and behaviors that are based on the impact of prejudice and discrimination.
  • Claim pride in their group identities.
  • Understand the personal impact of discrimination through the telling of stories.
  • Your attendance and participation will be recognized with a certificate upon successful completion of the NCBI workshop.

We hope that you will be able to join us!

Your voice and contribution will add value to the conversation and workshop experience. Please note: This is an experiential process, so it is important for participants to attend the entire workshop and receive the full benefit of the workshop model.

Register by April 11. To learn more, please visit the UAA National Coalition Building Institute website.
