Webinars
Implicit Bias Online Training Modules
This course will introduce you to insights about how our minds operate and help you
understand the origins of implicit associations. You will also uncover some of your
own biases and learn strategies for addressing them. Each module is divided into a
short series of lessons, many taking less than 10 minutes to complete. That way, even
if you’re pressed for time, you can complete the lessons and modules at your convenience.

Trauma-Informed Care: Creating Environments of Resiliency and Hope
This session emphasizes how trauma-informed care includes acknowledging racial trauma
like racial implicit biases and microaggressions.

OSDP Peer Mentor Program
The OSDP Mentor Program is for students of color, students who identify as LGBTQ+,
international students, and students who have these intersecting identities here at
Skidmore College. This program focuses on providing experiences, information, and
resources related to student success at Skidmore and beyond. OSDP Peer Mentors (upperclass Skidmore
students) and Mentees (first-year Skidmore students) will engage in a variety of activities
focused on assisting first-year students in their transition to college and helping
current Skidmore students with further developing their leadership skills.
