Leadership for Diversity and Inclusion (LDIT) deliveres a series of several training sessions, including Fundamentals, Race, Ethnicity & Nationality; Gender & Sexual Orientation; Socio-Economic Status; Ability & Disabilities and Religion & Spirituality each Fall and Spring.
Participants will gain an increased awareness of the importance of diversity, as well as tools and strategies to better foster inclusion within the campus and community. All training sessions are offered on a rotating basis each fall and spring through the Center for Equity and Inclusion.
Pratt's Center for Teaching and Learning hosted forums and meetings that aim to bring together the Pratt community for discussion that will broaden and deepen our collective thinking about diversity. Discussions included questions in our learning environments related to race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, first-generation students, LGBTQIA students, international students, and students of different abilities (neuro-diversity).
Pratt's DEI office continues to hold training session throughout the year to the Pratt Community: The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) Allies Training Certificate Program educates the Pratt community on important terms and concepts integral to an in-depth understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion. DEI Allies are full-time and part-time faculty and staff that actively promote and advance diversity, equity, and inclusion through intentional, conscious, and constructive efforts that benefit the entire Pratt community.
