Human Resources Update

Inclusive Excellence Podcast

Join Sherron Brown and Cornell Woodson for a monthly podcast series where they unpack various topics related to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. During each episode, they will provide action steps listeners can implement immediately and interview campus colleagues, in varied roles, about the ways in which they are creating cultures of belonging. You can listen to this podcast on your phone, at your desk, on your way to work, while you are cooking, even while you get ready for bed! You can find the podcast episodes on Soundcloud.

Do you have a topic you would like us to discuss on the podcast? Have someone we should highlight for their awesome work around campus? Feel free to send us an email at ie-academy@cornell.edu.
