About the Program
The Racial Justice Training Program (RJTP) is a cohort-based racial and social justice education program geared towards all academic advisors regardless of race, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other protected characteristic.
Participants further develop their awareness, knowledge, and skills needed to better serve students who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), thus also enhancing support for students from other historically minoritized groups.
In order to be sustainable and ongoing, this program utilizes a train-the-trainer model.

“This is essential. Understanding equity and inclusion is central to what we do in advising. We cannot be effective in our work with students and with each other unless we understand our personal biases well enough to identify unintentional microaggressions that we might be perpetuating. We must continually learn and grow to be better neighbors, friends, leaders, and colleagues.”
