Every student enrolled for credit must complete the four Core Curriculum classes. In these classes, students have critical conversations and discussions about social justice, identity, power, and equity. Moreover, our Chief Diversity Officer provides trainings to new students during orientation.

Trainings are provided to all faculty and staff during the beginning of each academic year. Currently, all faculty are working with the Chief Diversity Officer on an institution-wide plan to decolonize academic curriculum and pedagogies.
