Iowa State University Extension and Outreach celebrates all identities, cultures, and backgrounds and actively works to foster a climate that is grounded in respect, value, and belonging. In our organization, diversity, equity, and inclusion support constructive workplace and educational environments and promote excellence throughout the organization.  Within the Professional Development unit, we offer a variety of educational DEI opportunities that will motivate, challenge, strengthen and enlighten county and campus-paid staff, faculty and elected council officials.  Whether it is a face-to-face workshop, a virtual learning event, or an ongoing book club, if you are interested in participating in research- and evidence-based educational experiences, contact Gayle Coon for more information.
