The Advance Office for Faculty Equity and Resilience (OFER) is proud to announce: Microaggressions Bystander Training

Like a mosquito bite, one microaggression may not be a big deal. But imagine being bitten multiple times a week, year-round. This is how the culture is for some people at UMass Lowell and most other universities. Be part of the effort to change it! This evidence-based program was designed by the WAVES team and is offered by OFER to help faculty navigate what to do when you witness a microaggression.

This training session is practical and interactive; you will build your skills in identifying and interrupting instances of microaggressions. Role playing and vignettes help participants develop confidence in their ability to notice microaggressions and intervene.

When: January 31, 2025, 10 a.m.-12 p.m.
Where: Coburn Hall, Room 255

Who: All faculty who have not participated in the training or wish to refresh their skills

Register for training! Availability is limited.
