We see injustices every day, online and off, and we can feel so hopeless and helpless to change them - but we aren't! In this workshop, we explore and define the terms Ally, Advocate, and Activist, and learn how each role is valuable to the social justice movement and the people depending on it. Come to the IDC to fill out your supporter's "toolbox" and find out what you can do to make a difference no matter who or where you are.

Learn about diversity at UB by exploring stereotypes and privilege, the meaning of social justice, and the benefits of attending a diverse institution.

Each workshop is limited to a maximum of 50 participants.

Come out and join us as we make an effort to celebrate diversity and ensure that differences do not become barriers.  This engaging workshop offers student clubs and organization leaders key takeaways to consider as they design programs and events for the campus. Learning outcomes include, but are not limited to, learning how to incorporate inclusive language; structure programs and meetings with consideration for how all students are included; purposefully engage activities, speakers, and media sources that promote cultural awareness and inclusion; as well as enhance your outreach.

This training is an opportunity to learn more about gender and sexual identities and issues facing and within the LGBTQ communities.  It is for everyone to learn how to be better allies and increase awareness of resources on our campus and in Buffalo.  The goal of this training is to inspire others to create safe and affirming environments for all members of our community. Each training session is limited to a maximum of 50 participants.

Privilege is often invisible to those who have it. This session will address what privilege is (and isn’t), how it works, and how understanding privilege leads to understanding ourselves and those around us better
