CFANS ECHO (Equity Certificate Hosted Online)

The University’s Office for Equity and Diversity (OED) developed and also facilitates an Equity and Diversity Certificate Program that is offered fully online. It is referred to as the ECHO (Equity Certificate Hosted Online) program. CFANS offers the same ECHO certificate experience but in an environment in which participation includes only CFANS staff and faculty. The CFANS ECHO program is unique in that participants move through a series of 10 training courses as a cohort while building community with their colleagues from across the CFANS community. The ECHO program helps participants develop tools necessary for advancing equity and diversity in all aspects of their professional and personal lives.
