UMN Morris and ECHO Certificate
UMN Morris connects with the UMN Twin Cities' ECHO Certificate program. UMN Morris uses the workshop materials and modifies accordingly to make them local and specific to the Morris campus. Typically, the four foundational courses are co-/facilitated and the rest of the workshops can be taken online. All are invited and welcome to participate in the ECHO program. For questions, contact the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Intercultural Programs Director at 320-589-6095 or at [email protected].
Equity and Diversity Advocate Program
The Equity and Diversity Advocate program began in 2018 as a pilot project to ensure that issues of equity and diversity are integral to Morris’ system of shared governance. Anyone can volunteer to serve as an EDA for their committee, and upon doing so will be asked to complete a two-hour training workshop on data, problem-solving, and communication skills around equity and diversity issues at Morris. The governance committee, Equity and Diversity Committee, facilitates the EDA workshops.
Pre-Doctoral Fellowship
The University of Minnesota Morris and the Office for Equity and Diversity (OED) are pleased to announce the Diversity Pre-Doctoral Teaching Fellowship Program which provides U of MN doctoral candidates the opportunity to teach, write their dissertation, and be mentored by senior faculty. The goal of this program is to support and mentor pre-doctoral students, particularly those who are under-represented within the ranks of faculty. This program seeks talented, dedicated doctoral students committed to excellence in undergraduate education to serve as fellows each academic year on the University of Minnesota Morris campus. Up to two fellowships will be awarded.
