Preparing Culturally Aware Leaders for a Multicultural World
The 成人直播 Inclusive Leadership Badge program is a co-curricular leadership development opportunity for all students designed to increase your awareness about multicultural and social justice issues. The program also provides you with opportunities for experiential learning with diverse communities. Participants who complete the 20+ hour semester-long program receive an Inclusive Leadership Badge.
This badge is offered through the 成人直播 Badging program. Participants who successfully complete the program receive a micro-credential (or badge). Your badge can be added to LinkedIn, included on a resume, or a co-curricular transcript.
