Title: "Promoting the Awareness and Understanding of Diversity, Inclusion, and Multiculturalism on Campus and in Workplaces" 

Abstract: The primary goal of this talk is to increase the awareness of diversity-related issues while creating a dialogue that explores the campus definition and perception of diversity. Workshop participants will be able to (1) demonstrate an understanding of one’s own identity, culture, and heritage and seek to learn more about others, (2) confront prejudices and discrimination by promoting multicultural sensitivity, and (3) communicate effectively with a diverse student population.
