“[This workshop] was excellent at keeping us engaged and explaining the concepts in an applicable way. The instructor provided tangible examples on how to interrupt bias and reframe conversations in the moment. The small group discussions among faculty triggered us to be more self-aware in our communications and interactions with our colleagues and students.”
