About the Workshop
This workshop introduces diversity and cross-cultural competence, particularly as it pertains to the College. This workshop will begin a dialog and explore such topics as race, ethnicity, culture, class, language, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, and ability, by means of interactive experiences. In particular, this workshop will focus on the layers of diversity, stereotyping, labeling, and demographic data. Participants will begin to reflect on how they can positively affect the culture of the College. To encourage a diverse group, we invite all employees-both faculty and staff-to attend. No prior knowledge of the topics is necessary.

About the Diversity Institute
What is it? The Diversity Institute is a formal initiative at CNM that builds on previous work in equity and diversity at the College. The Diversity Institute is a part of Organizational Learning.
Why was this institute formed? The Diversity Institute is being developed to address the need for more meaningful interactions at the College, between divisions and across work classifications, as well as across lines of race, ethnicity, culture, gender, class, religion, ability, and age.
Who is invited? Every employee at CNM is invited to participate: all faculty and staff from every division and every work classification.
When will it start? The first two workshops are being offered this spring, with more activities planned for the Fall term and subsequent terms, including seminars and retreats in addition to more workshops.
