The Office of Student Development and Activities offers a number of trainings and workshops throughout the academic year for students to develop and enhance their awareness, sensitivity, and knowledge about diversity and inclusion.
Trainings
Safe Zone Training
Safe Zone is a program designed to visibly identify students, staff and faculty members who support the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning (LGBTQ) population, understand some of the issues facing LGBTQ individuals, and are aware of the various LGBTQ resources. The 3 hour training session will provide a basic foundation of knowledge needed to be an effective ally to LGBTQ students and those questioning their sexuality. We encourage MMC individuals to take advantage of this unique opportunity offered only a couple of times a year. Participants will be required to attend the full 3 hours.
Diversity Zone Training
Diversity Zone is a program designed to visibly identify individuals who understand, support and are aware of some of the issues surrounding race, ethnicity, and class. This program is also 3 hours and will provide a basic foundation of knowledge for all participants and some ways to be an ally. We encourage individuals to be a part of this workshop as very few colleges in the country are currently offering such training. Participants are required to attend the full 3 hours.
ABILITY ZONE TRAINING
Ability Zone is an introductory workshop about stigma, disability, and supporting/advocating for the disability community. It will address the harmful first messages we receive about people with disabilities, different types of disabilities, and the ways in which we can disrupt ableist culture on and off campus. This workshop is 1.5 hours and can be tailored for your office, department, club, organization, etc. You are encouraged to stay the whole time, but are welcome to come for as much of it as you can.
