Sessions

  • Diversity in Leadership

    Come learn what a blind spot is in relation to diversity and how it can impede creating well rounded and successful organizations. They will be encouraged to consider their own possible blind spots and learn how to move beyond them. Students will also work on a case study to assist with this process. Students will be encouraged, but not required, to share their experiences as either a member of a privileged group or as part of a marginalized group.
