Welcome to the Diversity Training University International Certified Diversity Professional Online Level One Course!
This course is ten weeks in duration.
We are very happy to have you as a participant in the DTUI.com diversity professional certification program. During the next few weeks this course will help you develop a foundation for leading cultural diversity programs. Each week you will have a mixture of readings, discussions with other participants, and some activities to complete that help deepen your learning.
My name is Billy Vaughn, PhD and I will be working with you throughout the course. To find out a little more about me, I have posted a more personalized welcome in the first exercise.
Throughout the course you will interact with other participants. Hopefully, you will form some new colleagues in the diversity profession. In our discussions you will notice that each interaction is asynchronous, which means you can log in at any time during the week to participate in a discussion or view a past conversation.
As our classroom space may be new to you, you will find below some basic directions for navigating the course and a description of how to get started. Please feel free to ask questions any time. I am here to help guide you through the course and I hope you will feel comfortable getting in touch with me any time.
We are all looking forward to having you as a part of the DTUI diversity professional community.
Welcome Aboard!

Taking an online course offers the luxury of accessing the classroom when it is 
convenient and you feel most energized. The challenge is to discipline yourself so that you do not lose momentum and fall behind. We really want you to succeed in completing this course on time. These weekly tips are designed to support you in to this end.
Tip #1
1. Use the instructional videos to learn how to navigate the site for important content, such as assignments. A couple of them were just updated again today. They are located on the Classroom Main page in the Instructor information section.
2. You can expect to put in about three to six hours per week into this course if you complete the assigned reading, lecture, and assignment one week at a time.
3. To do well in the online course, you need to be organized and committed. Schedule a day and time you will use to stay organized for the class. This may take only about ten minutes or so for some of you and perhaps up to an hour for others.
4. Don’t hesitate to pick up the phone and contact the instructor or send an email. Many times a single phone call will save time and effort compared to back and forth email. The instructor is available via phone Monday-Friday from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm Pacific Time. You can send an email during the weekend, but it may not be answered until Monday.
