CORE Four Workshops

CORE Four Workshops

CORE is a set of four workshops that explore fundamental concepts of belonging. These workshops are designed to deliver theory-based research, ignite a sense of agency, and cultivate a campus for all. CORE is open to faculty, staff, and students. Workshops are offered each fall and spring semester; registration is required.

CORE Outcomes:  

  • Acquire a new or deeper understanding of the foundational concepts of belonging
  • Learn strategies to apply these foundational concepts in one’s role at Syracuse University and beyond

Workshop 1: Foundational Concepts of Belonging

Workshop 2: From Performance to Purpose: Engaging in the Creative Process to Reimagine Allyship

What does it truly mean to be an ally? We see the word and think that wearing or displaying a sign of our support is sufficient, but we may not know why we choose to be an ally. This workshop shows participants how to apply the 5 Stages of the Creative Process to move from performative allyship to authentic allyship.

Language is powerful. This interactive workshop will allow participants to reflect on the difference between impact and intention in our language use and learn strategies to intervene when observing harmful language. 

Workshop 4:  Name It, Claim It, Reframe It:  Identifying Solutions to Systemic Barriers

The goal of this workshop is to identify systemic barriers and empower participants to work together to strengthen our culture of belonging.
