Bring Diversity University to your organization, school or community.
Diversity University is the first of its kind, traveling conference designed to address issues of diversity, white privilege, leadership, bullying and other forms of oppression and privilege. We specifically cater to young adults and educational professionals looking for an engaging, affordable and positive professional/leadership development conference experience, but may be unable to attend a full conference because of the costs of travel, lodging, meals and registration. DU provides a full-day, comprehensive discussion and analysis about diversity, privilege and leadership and we can tailor our core curriculum to meet your needs. If you have the will, but not the time, support, or resources necessary to explore diversity, privilege and leadership in the way that you would like, enlist us today. At Diversity University, EVERYONE graduates to the next level of understanding, respecting and connecting. Diversity University is a partner program offered by Dr. Eddie Moore Jr., Fredrick Gooding, Jr., Esq. Visit www.diversityuniversity.net.
