  • Foundations of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Sessions for Virtua Health College 
    (September-December 2023; All sessions via Webex; Faculty and Staff only)
    • Planning for the Fall dates for the Foundations of DEI Certificate is underway. As we no longer have our primary facilitator, Yvonne, I'm working with the Division of DEI to schedule Fall sessions. Since we'll need to have fewer sessions due to resource constraints, we'll focus on Modules 1 and 2 for the Fall 2023 term. The University Division of DEI will be offering sessions for each Module​​​​​.
