Dear First_Name,

Getting Along Before & After Elections

Friday, Oct 25 ~ 12:30pm ~ OMA

Do you want to communicate more effectively and peacefully in your relationships?
How can we learn to build bridges and not walls with one another?

Learn the art of Non-Violent Communication (NVC) from Jackson Mentoring award winner Dr. Aysegul Keskin Zeren to express yourself clearly and empathetically.

It will change your relationships!

Help us Update Diversity 360

Next year is the 10th year anniversary of D360, and we'd like to update the list of microaggressions that we use in the student handout. If you have had something happen to you on campus at CWRU, please let us know here.

Microaggressions: Everyday insults, indignities, and demeaning messages sent to historically marginalized groups by privileged groups, irrespective of their intention, who may or may not be aware of the hidden messages being sent.

Click here for current examples of microaggressions used during D360 sessions.

There is also the Community Concerns Reporting System (CCRS), which is a clear and streamlined process for reporting incidents of perceived mistreatment, cultural/ethnic insensitivity, and bias.
