The National College Attainment Network (NCAN) has revamped two of our e-learning courses that focus on diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. If you want to bolster your knowledge in this
area, consider taking one or both of the new classes available:
Building Bridges - Diversity Foundation: This course is designed to equip those in the college access space with the knowledge and skills necessary to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for all students. Participants
will explore the core concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and learn practical strategies to address systemic barriers and promote student success. The course will cover topics such as implicit bias, cultural competence, and advocacy, while
providing opportunities for self-reflection and skill development. By the end of this course, participants will be empowered to enhance their advising practices and become champions for equity and inclusion in higher education.
Beyond Basics: Strategic Approaches to Inclusive Excellence: This module builds on concepts to equip participants with practical tools for implementing diversity, inclusion, and accessibility strategies in educational and organizational settings. Through
self-guided learning, participants will explore intersectionality, address systemic barriers, and develop skills in allyship, policy creation, and facilitating difficult conversations, enabling them to drive meaningful change.
Additionally, we have added a course on mental health wellness:
Handle with C.A.R.E.: This course empowers advisors to support student mental health, focusing on first-generation college students. Through "Handle with C.A.R.E." principles, participants grasp mental health concepts, identify challenges,
and address urgent issues. It emphasizes effective communication, advisor roles, and self-care. Guidance on student referrals, resource utilization, and follow-up strategies ensures ongoing support and success.

(and others) here. All courses are free for NCAN members through August 2025.
