Core Courses Descriptions

(All courses must be completed)

 

Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity 101 (1.5 Hours)

Facilitated by: The Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Equity Programs

We hear the terms diversity, inclusion, and equity used all the time. Sometimes these terms are used interchangeably. The purpose of this training is to provide shared language on what these terms mean and how you can put them into action as a member of the Titan Family to better our community. This class will also introduce the concept of privilege groups and how it might impact individual experiences on campus.

 

Allyship 101 (1.5 Hours)

Facilitated by: The Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Equity Programs

Becoming an effective ally is more than just listening to others talk about their traumatic experiences as a person belonging to a marginalized group. It is more about solidifying a course of action that helps you commit to eradicating those injustices. This workshop describes the concept of allyship in action related to combating social injustice on our campus and in our local and national communities. Participants will learn ways to be an ally against various forms of social injustice, interrupt negative discourse on social identity difference, and advance their allyship efforts into a space of solidarity. Participants will leave the session with tools and resources on translating their allyship into solidarity and action.

Engaging Religious and Worldview Diversity on Campus (2 hour)

Facilitated by: Jessica Moss, Lecturer, Department of Sociology 

As a diverse campus, CSUF is responsible for providing safe spaces for students, faculty, and staff. Becoming aware of and engaging with religious and worldview diversity is key to creating a campus culture that is not just accommodating but respectful and inclusive of diverse identities. This session will provide participants opportunities to reflect on personal worldview identity, as well as perceptions towards others. The goal is to start a conversation that will allow us to build a safe, respectful, and inclusive campus.
