Fostering a Culture of Belonging Microcredential: Register Now

Staff and faculty are invited to enroll in the Fostering a Culture of Belonging microcredential, a free professional development course offered through our L&C’s partnership with the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC).

These online courses, designed and delivered by the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE), help faculty and staff strengthen their teaching and student support practices while advancing a culture of belonging, inclusion, and equity on campus.

Earning a micro-credential means completing an 8-week, focused course and demonstrating evidence-based practices you can apply immediately in your work. You’ll receive a digital badge you can share on your professional profile and contribute to building a stronger sense of community for our students. You can learn more about ACUE’s approach to effective teaching here.
