One of the charges of the CFAES Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is to offer free professional development programs to help members of the CFAES community learn skills needed to build diverse, inclusive, and equitable communities. In March 2020 all programs were switched to online delivery. Programs facilitated by CFAES staff are accessible to anyone, regardless of affiliation with the college.
In-house or virtual on demand delivery of programs are available to CFAES departments, offices, and units (delivery of programs to units outside CFAES may be possible, please use contact information below to inquire). If you are interested in scheduling a virtual or in-person workshop for your unit please contact Dr. Leo Taylor (taylor.3408@osu.edu), Program Manager for Faculty and Staff Affairs. Please note that a minimum of two weeks advance notice may be required.
