"I asked Envision to come to our campus to help us begin the conversation about how we can be better allies. They conducted workshops for both our faculty and administrators as well as our students. Even before the workshops were done, the participants were already planning for Envision to return for more! The facilitators created a safe and engaging the facilitators allowed participants to experiment and explore new ideas through a shared process. Having individuals participate in a Safe Zone Training was incredibly meaningful and important to our campus, and we are already planning on Envision’s return to our campus!"

"We have had the staff from Envision join us on two different occasions to do training for our professional staff. Their expertise in teaching activities for the Resident Directors to use with students was superb.  My staff was then able to enhance the students' perspectives on multicultural and diversity issues.  We also used the Envision staff's skills in taking our professional staff to a different personal level of awareness regarding diversity issues.  It was incredibly helpful to have outside facilitators to push us to achieve new levels of professional and personal development."
