Learning Opportunities

Various in-person awareness education programs are offered by The Office of Inclusion and Equity (OIE) and other affiliated offices on campus. These include workshops, trainings, and scenario-based sessions, for faculty, staff, academic support, post-doctoral, and research employees on a variety of topics regarding inclusion, diversity, belonging and equity (IDBE).

Upon request, we will also work with deans, managers and/or departments to facilitate tailored ad hoc awareness sessions as needed. If you are interested in organizing such sessions, please email nyuad.inclusionandequity@nyu.edu.
