Educating Everyone, Every Day

This required introductory course for all undergraduate students interested in McIntire includes a training called "Blind Spots and the Business Case for Diversity and Inclusion,” developed by PwC and the McIntire Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Using business cases, all students work to identify and understand bias and the impact bias can have on workplace decision making.

All third-year McIntire students participate in the immersive Integrated Core Experience, a yearlong deep dive into business skills and fundamentals. Every year, McIntire’s Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion offers an evening seminar that introduces students to the value of diversity and inclusion at both the organizational and individual levels. Students work within their groups to ensure inclusive practices and discuss the concept of intent versus impact and the importance of allies in the workplace.

Student organizations can request customized training and engaging workshops focused on creating inclusive environments with their groups. Topics such as “Ensuring Equitable Selection Processes,” “Including and Encouraging All Members,” and “Diverse Teams by Design” are delivered to support inclusive leaders within co-curricular activities.

McIntire encourages and develops our faculty and staff to create welcoming and inclusive environments for all members of our community and especially those who may feel marginalized by status or life experiences. Each semester, faculty and staff engage in workshops and training around topics such as “Difficult Dialogues,” “Creating Inclusive Classrooms,” and “Inclusive Syllabi by Design.”
