Diversity and Inclusion

CHSP Points of Pride

• Assisting ongoing University and college-wide efforts to create and foster opportunities for inclusive curriculum and educational programming.
• Helping to prepare all CHSP students (both traditional and online) to work with individuals from different backgrounds and experiences.
• Engaging with faculty and staff who express interest in learning more about and/or improving CHSP's DI initiatives.
• The CHSP Diversity and Inclusion Committee has hosted a series of Diversity Dialogues which have included:
  • Famous Women in Healthcare
  • Confronting Hidden Bias in Healthcare
  • Gender
  • Diversity related to politics and healthcare
  • LGBTQ+ (Pride Week)
• Social Work: Engaging in and learning from anti-racist assessment of social work curriculum. Exploring the real history of social work in the country.
• Environmental Health: EH 3200 class, The Built Environment and Health, inspected buildings on campus for compliance with ADA as a fieldwork assignment.
• Online programs: Improving student preparedness to work with people with different abilities for both traditional and online students.
• The college curriculum committee reviews all new courses, course changes, program changes, and new programs.   In doing so, the members identify opportunities to incorporate more DI topics or depth into course content.
• Faculty are willing to learn and improve with DI initiatives (though lacking accreditation standards presents limitations for supporting faculty growth in DI).
