The first part is an introductory one-hour workshop designed to identify opportunities to build competencies to maintain and sustain an inclusive environment and a sense of belonging. Building on part one, the second part will create a plan to continue an individual’s course of action to build and maintain an inclusive environment and a sense of belonging.

This workshop challenges participants to engage in honest yet effective dialogue, reflect on information received, and create a plan moving forward to build strategies for belonging. Come ready to engage and learn from one another.

• Identify at least one specific barrier that may stop someone from achieving their inclusive and belonging goals and how to overcome them.
• Create a plan to continue an individual’s course of action to build and maintain an inclusive environment and build a sense of belonging

About our presenter

Terry Lee Watson, founder of Strategies for Justice BWMP LLC, has been presenting on the topics of race and white supremacy for over 20 years. Mr. Watson has presented at Universities, K-12, social justice organizations, and conferences. His most recent focus has been on law enforcement through his presentation, The Battle with Moses People; What happens when Black Lives Matters meets Blue Lives Matter. A true believer in having civil discourse, Mr. Watson constantly challenges perspectives leading to him writing this book, Welcome to the sick mind of a sane person, where he asks the question, how do we, as conscious black people participate in sustaining white supremacy?

As the Assistant Director of Student Disability Services for Penn State University World Campus, Mr. Watson works closely with faculty, designers, and student-facing units. In this capacity, he helps shape practices, procedures, and policies to include individuals with disabilities. In his training workshop, Beyond Accommodations, he examines pedagogy through the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) lens and provides insight into inclusive practices.
