On August, 9, 2010, I facilitated a diversity workshop for 12 Resident Directors and 1 Assistant Director of Housing and Residential Life at Eastern Connecticut State University. This workshop was part of their professional staff training as they prepare for the arrival of their Resident Assistants and opening their residence halls at the end of the month. In short, the workshop was very successful. Participants were engaged, empowered and informed!
As the facilitator, I met my participants where they were in their learning and development to help facilitate a meaningful and purposeful workshop. The personal and professional experiences shared by participants were extremely empowering and insightful. Each one of the participants valued the activities and discussions that I led. Some participants quoted my facilitator role as:
"informative"
"ability to create a trusting & safe environment with a difficult topic"
"ability to facilitate the discussion and allow learning to occur"
"non-judgmental atmosphere"
"offered teachable moments"
Overall, the workshop was well-received and participants recommended this workshop again.
