THIS TRAINING IS MANDATORY AND MUST BE COMPLETED BY: AUGUST 15, 2023.

Here at Duke, we believe in the importance of creating a safe and healthy environment for all of our students, staff, faculty, and guests. Our commitment to affirming the diverse identities, cultures, and backgrounds of our global community begins with shared understanding about foundational principles tied to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. The online DEIB Module includes discussion around topics such as inclusion, power, privilege, and identity, and addresses strategies related to ally behavior, self-care, and creating inclusive spaces.

The course will take about 45 minutes to complete, and does not need to be completed in one sitting. You will need to complete the course before August 15. We all have roles to play in creating and sustaining a Duke community that is just, kind, and inclusive. Thank you for your commitment to doing your part!

Thanks for your eagerness; however, the module will not be available until mid-July. You will receive an email with detailed instructions on July 15.

Yes. The module will provide basic framework and content that will provide a shared understanding of these concepts to all students. It also includes developing your own strategies to consider as you begin building community at Duke.

Your family may not take the module for you. This module was designed with you in mind for your own personal benefit. Your privacy is important to us, so when taking the module find a space that will allow you to answer all questions honestly.

You will receive an email with instructions for completing the module on July 15.

DEADLINE: AUGUST 15.
