Register for today's Principles of Community workshops

From: Office for Inclusion and Diversity

Today’s workshop offerings for Principles of Community Week include “Using Your Words.” Have you ever been afraid to ask a question? Have you ever remained silent when you knew the answer to a problem? When we know we belong it’s easier to speak up. Each of us can play a part in building belonging so we won’t need “safe silence.” 

Join Tina Kapalin and Christina Mathai from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. March 16 online for Principles of Community workshop, "Use Your Words to Build Belonging." Enroll in the course. 

Other courses offered on the 16th include the following:

• "Neurodiversity in the Workplace," facilitated by Alicia Cohen virtually from 9:00 - 10:00 a.m. Enroll in the course.

Principles of Community Week is the annual celebration of the fundamental concepts that support InclusiveVT, our institutional and individual commitment to Ut Prosim (That I May Serve) in the spirit of community, diversity, and excellence. These principles reinforce our aspirations for a diverse and inclusive campus, where we can freely express and explore ideas in an atmosphere of empathy, civility, and mutual respect.

This year, the week will run from March 13 to March 17 with 21 engaging hybrid, virtual, and in-person workshops that offer the potential to earn digital badges. There are limited spaces available for the in-person workshops, so it is important to register soon!
