Indiana University Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Leadership Certification Program
The DEI Leadership Certification Program at Indiana University offers participants a comprehensive, academically grounded training program with expert-led classes that help participants become better leaders, managers, and allies for today’s workplace. The 10-week, 5-unit program combines two in-person and six online sessions, which include keynotes by industry leaders, interactive case studies, and thought-provoking assignments that prepare participants to work, lead, and live in our diverse, multi-faceted world. An orientation session kicks off the program, which concludes with a DEI Leadership Symposium and Certification Ceremony.
The program aspires to leverage Indiana University’s award-winning legacy of excellence in diversity, equity, and inclusion to develop, engage, and support current and emerging leaders from private, public, and nonprofit sectors. This certification program is ideal for professionals interested in leading their organizations toward more diverse, equitable, and inclusive futures at various levels. Upon successfully finishing the program, participants will gain marketable DEI competencies and be awarded an Indiana University Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Leadership Certificate.
