FAQs for “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Students”

“Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Students” is an interactive online training course designed and distributed by EverFi. The goal of the training module is to help students develop critical life skills, specific to topics around diversity, equity, and inclusion. The training facilitates an opportunity for students to:

• Reflect on elements of your own identity, including identity conflicts, managing multiple identities, while also exploring how external factors influence identity, and the negative impact of assumptions and stereotypes.
• Develop a greater awareness of our biases and how to respond to bias attitudes and behaviors.
• Explore your role in creating inclusive, respectful communities, and learn about skills including self-care, active listening, and effective allyship.

How do I learn more about this effort and other anti-racism initiatives on campus? 

On June 18, 2020, President Kent Fuchs shared his vision and direction for the University of Florida, urging us all to “become part of positive change against racism”. In alignment with strategic university-wide goals, a multi-level approach was developed and focuses on the following areas:

1. Our three-part mission of education, research and engagement with the community
2. Understanding our history and moving forward with symbolism and behavior consistent with our values
3. Representation, inclusion, opportunity and accountability
