Empowering NorthWest Arkansas Community College Employees

To Create a More Inclusive and Welcoming Campus

This four hour, diversity and cultural awareness workshop
will open your eyes and minds to what your contribution
has been to perpetuating stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination.

The question – What can you do differently to build a more inclusive and welcoming campus environment and community? – will be explored through discussion and a series of interactive and action-oriented exercises.

The session was facilitated by Val Gonzalez from NCCJ (The National Conference for Community and Justice). NCCJ promotes understanding and respect among all races, religions and cultures through advocacy, conflict resolution and education.

Val Gonzalez grew up in an intercultural, interracial neighborhood in Tampa, Florida and has since enjoyed a passion for multiculturalism and commitment to diversity.  As the adult program director of the Northwest Arkansas Region of NCCJ, she develops and facilitates diversity and cultural competency workshops for University of Arkansas employees, business professionals, health care providers, faith groups, parents, teachers, and others in our rapidly growing community.
