Employee Curriculum
The curriculum has been designed to be efficient with your time, while providing important and necessary information to create a welcoming and inclusive space at Penn State. It is divided into three (3) separate tracks with unique learning objectives that build on each other. Every year, our faculty and staff will be asked to complete a new track which includes three (3) required courses, one (1) elective, and some optional reading materials.
