Tier2-2: Employee Training Opportunities

Social Justice Educator Training is a professional development opportunity for UNH faculty, staff, and graduate students to further their understanding of social justice and diversity issues. The eight-hour training, which is divided into two days, covers issues of oppression, social injustice, social identity, and facilitation in a small-group setting (limited to 25 - no cost to attend). http://www.unh.edu/diversity/facstaff.html Also, Safe Zones Trainings are professional development opportunities for UNH faculty, staff, and graduate students to advance awareness, knowledge, and skills around the services and support that we provide to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) students and colleagues. Participants of Safe Zones Trainings are a campus-wide network of allies who are supportive of LGBTQ faculty, students, and staff and are committed to contributing to a campus climate of inclusion at UNH. Trainings are 1.5 hours in length. Safe Zones offers department-specific trainings, and some trainings that are open to mixed groups of faculty and staff from various departments. http://www.unh.edu/diversity/facstaff.html Leading as Diversity Champions Focusing on employees as leaders, the University of New Hampshire is sponsoring Leading as Diversity Champions (LDC) staff development program to highlight the benefit of employees being diversity champions who value excellence in the workplace. The goal of the LDC program is to encourage participants to prepare themselves and their departments and units for the future opportunities and challenges. The series of diversity in the workplace workshops and keynote address will offer participants the awareness, knowledge and skills to become active in building an engaged and inclusive living, learning and working community at UNH.
