The Multicultural Leadership Institute (MLI) offers Â鶹Դ´students a free diversity-training institute (2 hrs every week for 12 weeks). The workshop will provide service-learning opportunities.
The Diversity Engagement Center offers a 10-week institute designed to be people fromÌýa wide variety of backgrounds and experiences to spend time together, to understand, appreciate, and value each other, and in turn, go out and do that in the world around them. In addition, this program is designed to bring multicultural leaders together in challenging times and wrestling with how to pursue justice, healing, and reconciliation in a world too often divided. The MLI program explores topics related to culture, social justice, and reconciliation. We do not want to stop at justice but want to think about how to build strong, diverse, yet interconnected, and supportive individuals and communities. We will primarily use The Racial Healing Handbook by Dr. Anneliese Singh with other intersectional materials.Ìý
