Cultural Competency Workshop on “Breaking the Bias” habit

The School of Nursing is hosting its next Cultural Competency Workshop on “Breaking the Bias” habit on Friday, December 1 from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm in Enroth in Cooper Hall. Light refreshments will be served. This initiative supported by the Chancellor’s Office, and is listed as a recommendation for how to build a better and more inclusive campus environment. Please see attached documents for more information. RSVP by Monday, November 27 to secure your spot. We look forward to having you there. The event is free and open to all UW faculty/staff and community partners.

The Women in Science and Engineering Leadership Institute (WISELI) offers general 3-hour workshops about unconscious bias, covering race/ethnicity, gender, LGBT and disability issues to campus departments. Pilots began in fall 2016, and were made available to a broader set of departments in spring of 2017 and again in 2017-18. Faculty and staff who complete the general 3-hour workshop will be eligible to participate in future 1-hour special topics workshops on more specific issues, such as “reducing bias in classroom teaching”, and “new implicit bias literature.”

We look forward to seeing you there.
