Diversity Awareness

This workshop is designed in support of the strategic objective of "diversity" at Bryant, which is not only to increase access to under-represented or excluded groups, but to develop, in all our students, faculty and staff, a greater sense of diversity as a process of life. This program is the equivalent of two full days (schedule varies).

Audience: All new employees and those that have been unable to attend a prior session.
