The Office of Equity and Diversity offers trainings and workshops through out the year to interested faculty and staff.
Search Committee Training for Employees
At Colgate, we seek to bring the best people to our community, drawn from the rich diversity of the world outside campus. To do this, we implement and require a training session that delivers insights on navigating bias and implementing best practices within the search committee process.
- Staff training sessions: For more information on these training sessions, please contact Human Resources at hrtraining@colgate.edu.
- Faculty training sessions: please contact the Associate Provost for Equity and Diversity, Ani Maitra at apoed@colgate.edu.
Inclusive Leadership Training Series
Our University is dedicated to continuously advancing a culture of inclusion and belonging throughout our campus. To support this effort, we are first focusing on leadership training that focuses on strengthening authenticity and trust on teams. Teams and departments can sign up to schedule a series of workshops that focus on either of the following components:
Insightful Leadership
Improve team communication by learning more about communication and problem-solving styles, including understanding the significance of people’s preferred styles and developing flexibility. For more information on these workshops, please contact Vice President for Equity and Inclusion, Renee Madison at vpei@colgate.edu.
Transformational Leadership
Clarify the leadership qualities and strengths on your teams, and develop ways to more consistently create environments of trust. For more information on these workshops, please contact Director for Inclusion & Belonging, Rodney Agnant at rjagnant@colgate.edu.
Adaptable Leadership
Learn about applying adaptive(able) leadership to combat discrimination (retaliation), oppression, marginalization, exploitation, or disenfranchisement in the workplace. For more information on this workshop, please contact Director for Diversity & Equity, Amari Simpson at atsimpson@colgate.edu.
