Recognize and Mitigate Personal Bias to Increase Campus Inclusivity (webinar)
November 30th, 2022 | 2:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. EST | $395
Tools and strategies to minimize the harmful effects of personal bias on students to promote a culture of inclusivity on campus.
Why Is This Topic Critical?
Recent studies have revealed the profound negative impact educator bias has on all students—an effect compounded for minority and female students (Milkman 2014; Cherng 2017). As universities initiate diversity and inclusion initiatives to promote equity for people of all abilities, ages, ethnicities, genders and socioeconomic backgrounds, they must address unconscious bias that exists in relationships between students and college educators. To ensure all students have equitable opportunities on campus, college faculty and staff need training on how to recognize personal biases and counter the negative impact their biases can have on students within daily interactions, as well as within campus systems and policies.
Who Should Attend?
This program is ideal for college professionals, including:
Campus leadership, including deans, provosts and vice-presidents
College faculty and instructors
Academic advisors, academic support professionals
Campus professionals who work with students from diverse backgrounds
Overview
In our increasingly diverse world, we must educate ourselves about unconscious biases—which everyone has—and how maladaptive biases lead to discrimination within campus systems, policies, and daily interactions. Through better understanding their own mindsets and inclinations, college professionals and faculty can recognize bias and strive to limit the detrimental impact it has on students.
This webinar will provide an overview of unconscious bias and examples of how it impacts systems and communities. The facilitator will then provide scenario-based strategies for participants to identify and navigate their own unconscious biases to foster more inclusive environments. This interactive webinar will invite authentic discussion and participation in activities to recognize bias while discussing:

Putting into practice habits to identify and navigate personal bias
