Green Dot Training
The Green Dot strategy is a comprehensive approach to violence prevention that capitalizes on the power of peer and cultural influence across all levels of the socio-ecological model. Informed by social change theory, the training is available for either a 1-hour or 3-hour model that targets all community members as potential bystanders, and seeks to engage them, through awareness, education, and skills-practice, in proactive behaviors that establish intolerance of violence as the norm, as well as reactive interventions in high-risk situations – resulting in the ultimate reduction of violence.
Implicit Bias Training
The modern workplace is built around diverse teams and developed to leverage the strengths of each member and ultimately increase organizational competitiveness. Within a team, each person comes to the table with their own history and set of personally held beliefs. In this workshop, we explore the concept of implicit (unconscious) bias and its impact on the creation and maintenance of collaborative, inclusive, and viable environments. This session is designed to increase awareness about how implicit bias operates and identify techniques to mitigate its effects.
Contemporary Issues in Workplace Diversity and Inclusion
Workplace diversity refers to the variety of differences that exist within an organization. Although it seems simple, diversity encompasses individual and group differences such as personality, learning style, age, race, class, gender, religion and more. Today’s professionals require effective skills and competencies to function effectively within increasingly diverse organizations. Through this interactive workshop, participants will increase their awareness and hone their skills to leverage diversity in the contemporary workplace.

Through this training, faculty and staff can help military-affiliated students identify and connect with appropriate resources, lend a sympathetic ear, identify topics and questions to avoid both in and out of the classroom, and better understand the mindset of this non-traditional student population.
