Launching in the fall of 2023, the certificate is designed to “develop leaders who ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion values become fundamentally woven into organizational culture.”
The program will be able to be completed in a year’s time and will consist “of five eight-week modules,” as described by the school. The description continues, saying that “each module is broken down into a pairing of four-week mini-courses that work together to combine theory and practice in an immersive classroom and real-world setting.”
Muhlenberg is located in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
The Diversity and Inclusion section of the Muhlenberg website dedicates sections to annual reports, Black Lives Matter, and a Statement on Diversity.
