Self-paced Learning for Awareness and Exploration

LinkedIn Learning curates learning paths, customized sets of training classes, to help foster personal growth that supports your professional success.

We invite all Rutgers faculty, staff, and students to engage in the process of ongoing learning, engagement, and growth to engage in a diverse community and foster an inclusive climate.

Paths available include (explore more via the sidebar menu and on the LinkedIn Learning website):

• Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging for All; and
• Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging for Leaders and Managers.

Academic and administrative units are encouraged to utilize learning paths to support organizational capacity building and ongoing development of staff, faculty, and students. 

Ideas that Ignite Change are short reflection pieces written by Anna Branch, Senior Vice President for Equity, sharing practices to enable us to build and sustain our community instead of coexisting in hostile proximity.

Each idea includes resources from short articles to books and videos to put the idea into practice.

The alternative is to shut down and retreat to our ideological corners. Resist that urge and stay engaged.

Start small, read and reflect on the ideas. When the opportunity presents itself, and it will, try one out.

Listen to explore diversity, equity, and inclusion concepts and language that are commonly used, but not well explained or understood. In the 'Office Hours' segment, guests share tangible resources for listeners to learn more about the topic of discussion.
