Realizing Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity Core Certificate (fall 24 – spring 25)

About

The Realizing Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity Core Certificate was a comprehensive program for faculty, staff, and students designed for their involvement with realizing inclusion, diversity, and equity. Through six comprehensive workshops, participants will explored the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, establishing a strong educational foundation for their involvement with the R.I.D.E. framework. By completing the certificate, individuals acquired the knowledge, skills, and empathy needed to navigate diverse environments, promote equity, and champion inclusive practices. Empowered with this understanding, participants are able to cultivate a more inclusive environment within the university community and beyond; embodying Wake Forest University’s commitment to inclusive excellence.

How it worked

Participants completed six workshops to receive the certificate and badge. After participants completed Workshop 1: Foundations of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, other workshops were completed in any particular order.

Length to Completion: Participants were able to choose the pace with which they completed the workshops. Given that Workshop 1 was a prerequisite, it was offered 3 times for both students and faculty/staff in fall 2024 and spring 2025.

Participants needed to complete all six core workshops to receive the certificate and badge. Once all workshops were completed, participants will received the badge above that they are able to use in their email signatures and virtual platforms.
