Dear Colleagues,

I hope this message finds you safe, healthy, and well. We are excited to launch another semester of the  Foundations of Inclusion  (FOI) Workshop Series this fall. This workshop series is designed to introduce our professional campus community — faculty, staff, and administrators — to diversity, equity, and inclusion as they relate to student success and enhanced conditions for a more welcoming campus climate. Through these workshops, we hope that your awareness and understanding of these important issues will expand. Moreover, as part of the workshop, we hope that participants will have key takeaways, resources, and skills to more effectively contribute to UVU’s action commitments of include, engage, and achieve.

Below you’ll find a list of the dates and times. Please review the details in Bridge for the locations. We encourage those of you who are interested in registering for the Foundations of Inclusion to visit UVU’s Inclusion and Diversity website.
