Community of Respect
The objective of the Community of Respect seminars are to teach individual participants about cultural differences and to encourage them to think critically about the impact of their cultural values in their relationships with others. The curriculum is organized into four separate modules with distinct learning outcomes outlined in each.

- Learn about how to overcome unconscious bias.
Module 2: Redefining Diversity is an interactive session that focuses on three primary learning outcomes:

Module 3: Microaggressions is focused on the following learning outcomes:
- Understanding microaggressions and their impact
