Three Community of Respect training workshops are scheduled for Jan. 17, 24 and 31 from 2 to 4 p.m. each day. Participants must attend all three sessions.

The workshop is a nationally recognized program adapted from Texas A&M University and modified to meet the needs of NDSU. By combining interactive activities, hands-on strategies and discussion, the training focuses on self-discovery, cultural understanding and respect building. Participants will learn skills to effectively work with colleagues and students whose backgrounds are different from their own.

Advanced registration is required for the training. Register online at www.ndsu.edu/diversity/community_of_respect/registration_form. The registration deadline is 5 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 13.
