Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee offers professional growth opportunities for the summer

Are you looking for free virtual professional development opportunities this summer? Have you been interested in getting more involved in the conversation diversity, equity, and inclusion at Emory Libraries?

The Emory Libraries Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee has been hard at work reviewing updated and new DEI LinkedIn Learning courses for you. Based on our review, led by the DEI Education Sub-Committee, here are four recommended courses to get started, each under one hour!

You will receive a Certificate of Completion at the end of each course that you can attach to your Performance Self-Evaluation document.
