Session 1: The Role of Social Justice in Advising

Session 1 of the workshop series was fostered by the work of the Social Justice Advisory Committee; it focuses on establishing a common definition and understanding of social justice on campus and its importance in academic advising. Topics include: understanding equity vs. equality in a university setting, acknowledging limitations and biases, brave space vs. safe space, and using inclusive language.

Session 2: Self-Awareness and Awareness of One's Own World View

Session 2 focuses on the importance of self-awareness and offers participants the opportunity to engage in dialogue about their multiple identities and how those identities impact their work with a diverse student population.
