Many college health programs are in pursuit of tools and resources to serve diverse student populations. An essential element to serving students is to recruit and retain diverse staff by creating an inclusive workplace. This program will help college health professionals learn strategies for creating an inclusive workplace.

Join us for the first session in the HECCOP and CoVAC Equity Series. In this session, the presenters will discuss the necessity of acknowledging the totality of COVID-19's disparate impact on marginalized communities and the value of listening to these communities to better understand the root causes of mistrust in the health care system and vaccine refusal. Attendees will get guidance on how they can examine their own practices and procedures - and biases and assumption - to address the needs of marginalized communities in the short- and long-term, beyond COVID-19.
