DEISJ General Education Curriculum Development Support for SUNY Faculty and Staff

The SUNY General Education Framework introduced the knowledge and skills area of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice (DEISJ) as a required category for all undergraduate degree-seeking students. In the SUNY Board of Trustees resolution that adopted the SUNY General Education Framework, there was a commitment that SUNY System Administration would work with campuses to ensure faculty have the training and resources to support the teaching and learning needs in the DEISJ category. To this end, 16 faculty from across SUNY campuses have been selected as DEISJ Fellows to serve as faculty-to-faculty support for those developing and teaching curricula that meet the DEISJ student learning outcomes. The DEISJ Fellows will be providing multiple kinds of support, including through office hours for SUNY faculty and staff seeking a critical colleague to engage with to assist in DEISJ curriculum development and/or teaching.

Office Hours

The DEISJ Fellows will be offering office hours via Zoom throughout academic year 2023-2024.

From August 8^th to 31^st, we are offering a robust schedule of open/drop-in office hours, with two DEISJ Fellows available in each timeframe, as follows:

Access to office hours will be provided through the SUNY Center for Professional Development (CPD).

To access an office hour, registration is required at the following link: https://sunycpd.eventsair.com/deisj-fellows—drop-in-office-hours.
