Join the SOPH Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for an enlightening session led by Ivory Sirmans, UAB's Diversity Education Coordinator at the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Bystander behavior has been the focus of social psychological research for over four decades. Originally developed to reduce the incidence of sexual assault and sexual violence on college campuses, the bystander model is now also used for noticing and intervening with harassing behaviors related to microaggressions, bullying, and discrimination of all kinds. Participants will learn about types of intervention and explore potential barriers to action. Don't miss this opportunity to broaden your perspective and engage in meaningful dialogue. 

Bystander Intervention is in the series of four classes required to achieve the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Certificate, or the faculty CTL Global Awareness Certificate. This session is also highly recommended if you have not yet completed Search Committee Training.

To register for Diversity Education sessions, please visit the new Campus Learning System. Attendance can be limited so please register early. If you would like to attend a class that appears to be full, please contact the Diversity Education Director for special admission into the class.
