Central to doing this is creating opportunities for our faculty and staff to sharpen their skills and competencies:
- Monthly skill-building workshops to enhance diversity competences for faculty & staff
- Dedicated time during August & January Seminar for training on inclusive teaching practices and diversity competencies.
- Regular training on Title IX and Managing Bias
- Training for all search committee chairs on How Bias Influences the Search Process
Professional Development Resources
Multicultural Student Lounge
The primary mission of the Multicultural Student Lounge is to collaboratively strengthen and sustain an inclusive campus where all students, particularly students of color and other historically underserved students, can realize an authentic Edgewood College Experience. The Multicultural Student Lounge serves as a haven of support, solidarity and a space to share experiences among students. Historically known as the Center for Diversity and Inclusion, located in 206 of the Predolin Humanities Center, this space is distinct because it recognizes the activism and accomplishments of students of color and other historically underserved students.
Queer Student Center
The primary mission of the Queer Student Center is to collaboratively empower and support a campus where all students who identify as LGBTQ+ can feel comfortable and have access to an authentic Edgewood College Experience. Queer Student Center serves as a haven of liberation, solidarity, and a space to share experiences among students. Located in 208 of the Predolin Humanities Center, this space is distinct because it recognizes the activism, persistence, and accomplishments of various students, faculty, and staff.
Multifaith Prayer Room
At Edgewood College, we encourage students to explore and discuss the many faith traditions and spiritual practices of our diverse community. The office of Campus Ministry offers interfaith programming and opportunities throughout the year for students to engage in learning and develop the skills needed to build a just and compassionate world.
Community members of all faith backgrounds and spiritual beliefs may find the Edgewood College Multifaith Prayer Room, located in DeRicci 128, as a space for peaceful reflection, meditation, or prayer.
