This session will explore what unconscious bias is and how it directly impacts student success. This training includes a comprehensive plan to identify, address, and mitigate unconscious bias within schools and colleges. Unconscious bias can negatively impact decision-making, student access, student morale, and overall admission and retention performance. With this training, we aim to create a more inclusive environment and improve student satisfaction, student retention, and overall student success. 

Learning Outcomes 

1. Practice identifying and mitigating unconscious biases and implement strategies to address them

2. Apply a culture where diversity is valued and all students feel included

3. Employ a more inclusive and equitable student experience and enhance decision-making processes
