Diversity, Equity & Social Change Certifcate, Merrimack College – Jul 17

Posted by Merrimack College on July 2, 2024

Merrimack’s diversity, equity and social change certificate is designed for community engagement professionals interested in a tailored, focused diversity and inclusion program.

Communities today are grappling with the realities of historic and contemporary systemic oppression of groups based on social identities such as race, class, religion, ethnicity, age, gender expression, ability, and sexual orientation. In response, more organizations are offering diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programming, including diversity and inclusion certificate options, to encourage diverse representation, especially from historically underrepresented groups. Merrimack’s DEI certificate provides community engagement professionals in schools, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and other contexts the skills to build institutional policies and practices that are welcoming, inclusive and equitable.
