From Equity, Diversity and Inclusion: https://diversity-inclusion.uncg.edu/
Chancellor Gilliam in his installation as the 11th Chancellor at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro set forth our guiding vision as one of commitment to the values of equity, diversity and inclusion.
“To this idea that if we’re going to change the world, we must understand that we have a shared fate. We are connected, in an inextricable pattern, in which what happens to one of us, happens to all of us. At the core, that’s what our university is all about.”
UNCG fully supports and values an inclusive community with visible and meaningful representation of diversity. We seek to promote a climate of civility and respect, where diverse viewpoints and experiences are welcomed. UNCG is committed to protecting the rights of all to ensure that each person in our community is empowered, valued and respected for their contributions to the mission of this university. As a minority-serving institution, we embrace our role as serving a large, diverse student body and we are committed to our mission as providing access and opportunity for all.
From Human Resources/Director, Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and Affirmative Action (AA): https://hrs.uncg.edu/Affirmative_Action/
The AA Network ensures compliance and monitoring of the AA Plan. The Chancellor's Advisory Committee contributes to a healthy campus climate by analyzing, monitoring, and providing input regarding equity, diversity, and inclusion issues at UNCG. The Disability Advisory Committee contributes to campus needs regarding accommodation requests for students, faculty and staff. The Director of EEO and AA has oversight for all EEO and AA needs of EHRA-Non-Faculty, SHRA Staff and Student Employees.

UNCG Campus Training Opportunities for Diversity Issues:
The Training Commons is a portal for information and resources about targets of diversity education and training, and campus-wide links to offices and programs that offer resources and training. Consultation and facilitation requests from units, programs/departments, and organizations may also be submitted here. https://diversity-inclusion.uncg.edu/the-training-commons/
Likewise, UNCG has a variety of key leadership positions and affinity groups that are instrumental in promoting excellence in equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) across our campus. https://diversity-inclusion.uncg.edu/campus-resources-for-edi-excellence/
Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration: The legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is celebrated every year with a week of events offered to inspire and challenge the university community to continue to strive towards the ideals of peace and justice. The highlight of the week is the annual MLK Celebration in which an invited speaker delivers a keynote address in the spirit of Dr. King’s legacy. Past speakers include Rev. Al Sharpton, Angela Davis, and Dr. Mae Jemison, the first woman of color to travel in space. During the same event the MLK service award is presented to a member of the UNCG community who has gone above and beyond their role at UNCG and has truly lived Dr. King’s vision.
UNCG's Human Resources Department also offers workshops and training opportunities (please see: http://workshops.uncg.edu/). Examples of cultural competence topics include "Intercultural Sensitivity: Looking Through Other Eyes" and "Ouch! That Stereotype Hurt." (Intercultural Sensitivity Awareness - this three-hour workshop centers around Milton Bennett's Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS), a model of the development of one's worldview structure. Safe Zone - UNC Greensboro’s Safe Zone Training consists of three individual 3-hour workshops, titled: Safe Zone 1.0, Safe Zone 2.0, and Trans Zone. After completing all three workshops, participants will receive a sticker as an outward display of their commitment to inclusion. Green Zone Training - Green Zone training is for faculty and staff desiring to learn more about the military affiliated student experience. Brave Zone: Changing the Climate to Prevent and Effectively Respond to Multiple Forms of Violence - Students experiencing this type of violence often turn to college faculty and staff for help and support after an incident, but faculty and staff can also play an important role in prevention. Working Across the Generations: How to Solve the Generational Puzzle at Work - Generational misunderstandings happen all the time in our personal life but what happens when it is on the institutional level we want to alleviate the stress and provide understanding on how to work together across generations. How to Handle Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) - In order for campus staff to continue to provide trauma informed, timely, and appropriate care for students, employees must have the opportunity to find support and practice their own self-care. Dealing with Difficult People: How to Bring Out the Best in People at Their Worst - While you can't change difficult people, you can communicate with them in such a way that they seem to change themselves. It's about knowing how to get through to them when they're behaving badly. Positive Personality Profiles: Myers Briggs Temperament Indicator (MBTI) Insights to Understand Yourself and Others - The MBTI profile is a non-judgmental tool used for discussion of people's behavioral differences.)
