There are 4 modules in this course
Welcome to Week 1 of the course! The goal of Week 1 is to help you rediscover the curiosity you had at the age of 4 and to learn about yourself and others. To achieve that goal, you will be guided to unpack diversity from both a conceptual and an existential framework. A series of video lectures, learning activities, and reflective exercises will help you unravel all the ways you are diverse. Then, you will use this self-awareness to analyze how your personal diversity influences your actions and behaviors in the leadership contexts in which you serve. Before diving into the Week 1 content and learning activities, please view the welcome video from your instructor and then complete a short “pre-assessment” quiz to gauge what diversity, inclusion, equity, and justice mean to you.
