Summer 2024 Faculty Academy for Cultural Competence and Equity

Calling all NIU educators!

The Faculty Academy for Cultural Competence and Equity (FACCE) workshop series features NIU faculty experts leading interactive, engaging sessions on how to make your classroom, instruction, and pedagogy inclusive and accessible to all current and future Huskies. This summer, you can complete an intensive immersion experience on inclusion by attending these sessions with a committed cohort of your peers.

This summer's event has been revised and updated based on feedback from past participants. In addition to updating the sessions on topics that have been long-standing elements of the FACCE curriculum, we are planning to offer a few new sessions that meet our ever-changing needs as an institution.

Those who complete the entire series will earn a certificate of engagement and a digital badge for their ongoing professional development.
