This year, all incoming first-year students will take the online Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) module prior to fall semester. The module, which was piloted to about 1,300 students in 2018-19, helps students learn about and develop skills related to identity, bias, privilege and oppression, the benefits of a diverse community, ally behavior, self-care, and inclusive spaces.
On a weekend when there are a ton of fun activities planned for 4,500 new students, a new home (and campus) to explore, and countless boxes to unpack, new Miami students can still find time to give back during Welcome Weekends service event. You can help by donating an old t-shirt.
The syllabus for EDL 290T doesn't look like a typical college syllabus. For one, it looks like it's been printed on treasure map paper. And points in the class are labeled as Experience Points (XP). And actually, it's not even called a syllabus, with "Player's Handbook" in prominent letters near the top of the page.
The Student Engagement and Leadership (SEAL) Celebration is a recognition ceremony recognizing the dedication and hard work of various student organizations, as well as members and advisors of student organizations each year.
