About<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The Diversity & Inclusion Bade Program (DIBP) is a customizable micro-credential aligned with URI’s diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice goals. The mission of the DIBP is to enable URI’s Graduate Students to grow their leadership edge and gain a competitive edge in the job market by earning a microcredential. DIBP offers graduate-level professional development workshops that emphasize the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed for intercultural competence in a variety of environments. To earn the micro-credential, participants must complete five workshops including Fundamentals of Diversity: Social Identity, Power, and Privilege and four additional workshops offered by Community, Equity and Diversity in collaboration with the Graduate School before graduation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
