Course Description:
This course provides an overview of important considerations related to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Access, and Belonging DEIAB. We are all functions of the system that we live in, which has taught us how to think about ourselves and others, interact with others, and understand what is expected of us. These thought processes and expectations are based on the specific social identities we were born into that predispose us to unequal roles that allow us to access (or deny access) to resources. 

As we grow in our personal and professional lives, it is crucial that you continue expanding upon this knowledge and look further into the concepts presented that you are unfamiliar with and / or are curious about. This course will help you gain awareness and sensitivity to others and remove barriers. You can implement DEIAB strategies and initiatives to build a more inclusive working environment through your awareness.
