CU Denver Faculty Training and Events

Numerous studies have shown that implementing best practices related to LGBTQ+ inclusion in educational settings have significant impacts on gender and sexual minorities’ sense of self-worth and belonging as well as their ability to succeed, leading to greater retention and graduation rates. These practices are essential for creating a university culture that better prepares all students to enter and shape a more equitable and just world.

This hour-long workshop, created and delivered by CU Denver’s LGBTQ+ Faculty Assembly Committee, introduces participants to the whys and hows of LGBTQ+ inclusion in a university setting. Topics covered include appropriate terminology; updating gender information in CU Denver information systems; normalizing asking for names and pronouns; recovering from mistakes; inclusive pedagogical practices; gender neutral restrooms; and identifying resources available on LGBTQ+ topics at the university and beyond.
