Training Opportunities
Employee Development Series: Discussing Implicit Bias
Please join us for the next session of the Employee Development Series: Discussing Implicit Bias. This session will be presented by Ray Rodriguez, Senior Director of Access & Equity Title IX Coordinator.
During this session, attendees will gain awareness and be challenged to recognize interpersonal bias and how it impacts interactions in the workplace. The intersection of ethics, equity, and culture will be examined as they relate to professional education. We hope you will join us for a session that encourages both self-reflection and action to enrich our campus community.
This session will be held in person in the Student Union Ballroom on May 29, 2025, from 9:00-10:30am.
