We are currently in the process of offering many opportunities for training for our faculty, including small group table-talks around DEIJ topics, inclusive teaching courses through Northwestern University, as well as other learning events. We are also in the process of reviewing and overhauling all of our curriculum from the DEIJ lens, incorporating inclusive teaching practices and antiracist teaching pedagogy. In addition, our Mental Health and Wellness committee focuses on providing resources and support for our students.
