UMSL launches Graduate Certificate in Workplace Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Tips

For the first time this fall, the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion will offer a unique professional development opportunity to graduate students at the University of Missouri–St. Louis.

The Graduate Certificate in Workplace Diversity, Equity and Inclusion will be open to master’s and doctoral students through a collaboration with the Graduate School.

The new offering is the brainchild of Senior Manager of Strategic Diversity Initiatives Marlo Goldstein Hode, and it’s developed from work she’s done creating professional development programs for faculty and staff at UMSL, the University of Missouri–Columbia and the University of Missouri System.

“We know that no matter what industry you’re going into – whether it be health care or public sector or business – diversity, equity and inclusion are extremely important,” she said. “Being able to go into a new position with this background, it’s a boon to the company or organization you may work for, as well as your own career.”
