Share:

The Division of Inclusion and Equity has finalized the University’s spring 2022 session offerings for the Strategic Inclusive Excellence Certificate (SIEC). Faculty, staff and graduate students may attain the certificate to help develop the skills needed for advancing equity, diversity and inclusion at Clemson.

The SIEC program is part of a long-term plan recommended by the history task force and adopted by the Board of Trustees in 2016 to develop a comprehensive set of actionable recommendations for how Clemson can better tell the University’s complete history in a way that is “forthcoming, accurate and beneficial.”

The program supports the ClemsonForward strategic plan and is based on the American Association of Colleges and Universities’ guiding principles for access, student success and high-quality learning.

The workshops give participants the opportunity to:

  • Explore their backgrounds, identities and cultures.
  • Earn foundational concepts related to diversity, equity and inclusion.
  • Identify equitable practices and policies to promote success for all

students, faculty and staff.

  • Build interdisciplinary relationships that will enhance inclusive excellence.

The SIEC is a three-semester experience. The certificate requirements for entering participants are:

  • Semester One: 101 Core Workshop and three Elective Workshops
  • Semester Two: 201 Core Workshop, two Elective Workshops and

one Elective Experience

  • Semester Three: 301 Core Workshop, two Elective Experiences and

Capstone Campus Action Project
