Greetings,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in a new University Library DEIA Educational Workshop Series.  This series was developed by Dr. Ellen Burts-Cooper of Improve Consulting in collaboration with the DEIA Task Force.  Dr. Ellen was our guest speaker at the Library Annual Recognition Event. These workshops are a mixture of presentation and discussion, led by two library facilitators. By attending this workshop, you will have the opportunity to meet colleagues from across the library and learn from each other.

This semester, we will be offering 3 more opportunities to attend the first module, Library Culture and Engagement.  This workshop covers important foundational topics requested by library employees, including belonging, psychological safety, collaboration, and how to contribute to a healthy workplace. Attending this module will be very helpful for engaging with the additional four modules offered later.

The Library Culture and Engagement module will be offered on zoom on the following dates:

• Thursday, June 8^th, 2pm-4pm
• Wednesday, June 21^st, 2pm-4pm
• Thursday, July 27^th, 10am-12pm

Please register to attend this virtual event.
