Diversity and Inclusion Resources

These materials are resources intended to support the personal education and enrichment of members of our Warner College community. Warner College strives to provide self-reflection opportunities and education in all the areas that intersect with natural resources, including diversity and inclusion. As a college we are committed to being a resource for students, faculty, and staff seeking to understand more about diverse perspectives to inform their future contributions towards making natural resources fields more diverse and inclusive to all.

If you have suggested resources to share, please contact Dr. Rickey Frierson.
