This 96-hour (3 hours per monthly session) professional learning opportunity is designed to help faculty, staff, and administrators become scholar-practitioners in educational justice.

All books will be loaned to participants through the Office of Student Equity. As a note, those who have previously been a participant in the Student Equity Certificate Program, but were not able to complete the program due to their workload and/or the COVID-19 pandemic, will have first priority for enrollment during the 2022-2023 academic year.
