Culture, Training and Inclusion

Culture, Training and Inclusion

Culture, Training & Inclusion works to create a diverse, inclusive newsroom and bridge the gap between the paper’s staff and the communities we serve. CTI works to promote development and a diverse and equitable internal staff culture with a focus on professional development, conflict resolution, workplace culture, and training. CTI is central to The Daily’s goals of having diversity, equity and inclusion at the forefront of our workforce, culture and coverage.

Positions

CTI is designed to be the bridge between diversity, equity, and inclusion work, human resources, and the rest of the Michigan Daily.  We focus on inclusion within the newsroom and work to build an inclusive culture from multiple angles. We also work to equip staffers with the support and opportunities necessary for their success. As a member of CTI, you will work on initiatives to create a positive workplace environment, increase professional development opportunities, manage workplace conflict, and develop training for staffers. Projects we have worked on in the past (and are currently working on) include creating the Daily-wide Demographics survey, collaborating with other organizations and resources on campus (e.g., Trotter, SAPAC and Spectrum Center), working on creating a more accessible website and workspace and professional development. This position is open to any University of Michigan students who are passionate about the intersection of DEI and the workplace. This role requires attendance at weekly meetings and independent and/or team work throughout the semester.
