Program Description
Details
Often portrayed as some kind of all-purpose boogeyman, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives (DEI) are practical methods to improve the lives of a wide range of Americans from all walks of life. In this presentation, led by Dang Yang, participants will explore the more nuanced themes and foundational ideas surrounding DEI. By demystifying the ideas beyond misleading labels and inaccurate portrayals, participants will learn DEI’s purpose, its impact, and its future. A moderated audience Q&A will follow the presentation.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Throughout Dang Yang’s professional career he has served as a researcher, trainer, practitioner, and a collaborator within DEI leadership roles in educational organizations such as UW–Stout, CVTC, UW–Eau Claire, Marshfield Clinic, and the Eau Claire Area School District. His community advocacy in Eau Claire is of great interest to him, where he recently served as the Co-Chair of the City of Eau Claire’s BIPOC Steering Committee and as the City’s newly formed EDI Commission.
