Classroom Inclusivity Series

The Classroom Inclusivity Series is a collaboration between various units across Rutgers University, organized and facilitated by The Classroom Inclusivity Series Committee and the University Equity and Inclusion Office. The purpose of the program is to promote Inclusive Scholarship and Teaching (as identified by the Rutgers University Diversity Priorities) and in particular to support a more well-rounded understanding of Classroom Inclusivity.

This page is a showcase to congratulate all of the badge earners. Below you will find a list of the participants who completed the program with their respective badges displayed after their names.
