Examining Microagressions and Their Impact on Campus Climate
Monday October 30, 9:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Vintage Room

Microaggressions are brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral or environmental indignities — whether intentional or unintentional — that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative slights and insults toward individuals based on one's race, gender, class, sexuality, language, immigration status, phenotype, accent, or surname. This interactive workshop will examine the impact of microaggressions on campus climate and provide tools to effectively address them when they occur.
Workshop goals:

• Recognize when microaggressions are occurring in the workplace
• Understand the psychological effects on individuals and their harmful impact on campus climate
• Learn strategies and tools to successfully interrupt/address microaggressions when they occur
• Become a more effective ally to others
