The Diversity Leadership Certificate provides excellent preparation for student-athletes who wish to engage, live and work in a diverse society.
About the Certificate:
The Certificate is designed to allow students, across the disciplines, to engage in in-depth diversity learning around issues of gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality and ability. Geared toward building responsible citizens and reflective professionals, the Diversity Leadership Certificate uses curricular and co-curricular activities to enhance knowledge, develop facilitation skills and engage in productive collaborations across differences.
