Overview

UA Crossroads serves as a hub of diversity and intercultural initiatives and partnerships on the campus of the University of Alabama. In the past twelve months, Crossroads has worked to develop curriculum and strategies for introducing students across campus to topics of inclusive leadership, social identities, privilege and marginalization. Since August 2015 when the first Practicing Inclusive Excellence (PIE) workshops were rolled out, thousands of students have engaged the curriculum and dozens of organizations have partnered with Crossroads to deliver the content. Additionally, a team of PIE facilitators--students trained to understand the content as well as best practices for delivery--has been assembled to ensure that the growing demand for PIE workshops is met with ample, high-quality supply.

Until now, Crossroads staff and PIE facilitators have been operating on a loose collection of curriculum outlines, facilitator guides, and activity instructions--all of which are spread around in various forms of media (multiple computer hard drives, printed materials, and a whiteboard that hasn’t been erased since Summer 2015). This document seeks to compile the body of work that the team at Crossroads has built over the preceding months. This project seeks to enhance accessibility, quality, and sustainability of the PIE program.

This is the Cookbook.
