The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training module are meant to help you explore personal identities and cultural norms in the United States. As you prepare to arrive at DePauw, is it important to begin to think about how your identities impact the scope of the world you understand and choose to acknowledge. This training module will also provide you tips on engaging with differences. It is our hope that during your time at DePauw you will engage with different perspectives to help you better understand the world we live in today. Your growth as a diversity-minded leader is dependent on your commitment to engage with people and perspectives outside of your own.
