Equity Development Series

We’re excited to be continuing our Equity Development Series, a series of workshops aimed at building our understanding around issues that surround the concepts of educational equity.

The importance of understanding diversity, equity, and inclusion is a critical part of the work of educating our students at Foothill. We believe that equity work is reflected in all aspects of the campus and are affected by all members of the campus community. Through engaging with this series, we aim to build on the skills that we have, the experiences we have gone through, and the everyday work that we do.

Designed to fit in a workday, all sessions will be scheduled from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm and offered in hybrid modality, with both in-person and online options. Please consider joining us during your lunch break if you are interested in any or all of the offered topics.

 

 

Please register for sessions through the Vision Resource Center. If you need any help, please feel free to email yangchristopher@fhda.edu.

Sessions for Fall 2025:

All sessions are scheduled from 12:00 pm to 12:55 pm.
