Series Description

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.

Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

— Martin Luther King, Jr.

Change begins with us

How do we see what we do not yet recognize? Welcome to the new UCSC Silicon Valley Extension Diversity Equity Inclusion series where we invite you to consider new ways of listening, seeing, and evaluating the roles and identities we live in today's society and help you develop practical tools to navigate a more just society.

Our curriculum is created to build awareness and develop DEI leadership in the classroom and in larger organizations and institutions to promote:

  • Greater understanding
    Awareness of the many intersecting identities and roles we have in diversity, equity and inclusion work.
  • Wiser interactions
    Promoting equity, inclusion, and social justice in our workplaces, communities, and beyond.
  • Effective advocacy
    Moving beyond understanding and empathy toward allyship and action.

Three introductory DEI courses

    A FOUNDATION FOR CHANGE • Introduction to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
    An intensive approach to the historical, legislative, and modern day implications of diversity, equity, and inclusion and the roles we choose today to strengthen our relationships and the world around us.
    Starting Jan 23, 2021 — OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT

    IN THE CLASSROOM • DEI Cultural Equity for Student Success*
    Historic foundational practices and a toolbox of strategies for efficiently cultivating culturally equitable classrooms.

    IN THE EXECUTIVE SUITE • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for C-Suite Executives*
    Helping executives unleash their potential to create diverse, equitable, and inclusive environments that cultivate high-performing teams.

Coming soon...

Several of our existing courses in business and education address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion and we are excited to be developing a rich menu of DEI curriculum for people interested in diving deeper into the executive's potential, the promise of technology, the role of educators, and the mission of the advocate.
