Teams of 4-5 business students enrolled in an elective course on Workplace Diversity will work together on an workplace problem of equity and inclusion while providing culturally and industry-specific solutions. Projects can involve testing for bias in a hiring platform that a company may use for selection, how to communicate with a diverse client base (via social media posts, public service announcements, infographics), training programs for reducing sexual or racial harassment, or strategies to reduce prejudice or bias in the workplace.

--Every week in the 12 week course, students will be engaged in role-play exercises, and experiential exericses (like games) to learn about how to solve problems of equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

--They will also read and reflect on academic articles written by the professor on the topic of workplace diversity to make sense of their own lived and classroom experiences.

-- For the project, students will conduct academic research and use company specific background to develop their recommendations on how to solve the problem.

--They will make 15 minute presentation in teams and answer Q&A about the presentation.

--Students will also submit relevant materials(e.g., social media posts/public service infographics) created for the partner.
