<p class="MsoNormal">Dear graduate students,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This spring, we’re offering four workshops on how instructors can create more inclusive classrooms. If you attend all four workshops, you earn a “Leader in Classroom Diversity & Inclusion” certificate which could enhance your CV for the
job market. The workshops bring in experts from across campus to provide practical tips on how to design inclusive classrooms. Please see the attachment or the
<a href="http://diversity.arizona.edu/diversity-classroom">Diversity in the Classroom</a> webpage to learn more about the workshops and the certificate. These workshops are open to all graduate students, postdocs, and faculty.

<p class="MsoNormal">Given that mentoring is so beneficial to people in academia, please also note that all of our graduate students are eligible to create free accounts for the
<a href="http://diversity.arizona.edu/national-center-faculty-development-diversity">
National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity (NCFDD)</a>. This nationally recognized organization provides online career development and mentoring resources that can increase success with publications and securing external funding, increase confidence
as a researcher and scholar, lead to healthier relationships with departmental colleagues, and provide external mentors, sponsors, and collaborators.<o:p></o:p></p>
