As part of SolBridge's commitment to building an inclusive community for all students, the Student Services Team hosted the semiannual Peer Group Leader (PGL) training, featuring a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) session to prepare for the upcoming International Orientation Week.

The session sparked meaningful discussions on seamlessly integrating DEI principles into daily campus life, especially fostering the positive attitude during OT. A key focus was leveraging SolBridge's strengths in cross-cultural engagement to foster a more cohesive and welcoming environment for all students.

Key Highlights from the Training Session

l  DEI Conversations in Action: PGLs explored ways to facilitate open and respectful discussions on diversity and inclusion, emphasizing the importance of creating a space where every voice is valued while addressing potential language barriers.

l  Cross-Cultural Engagement: Recognizing SolBridge's diverse community, the training highlighted strategies to celebrate and strengthen cross-cultural interactions during Orientation Week, including active participation in sessions such as Embracing Diversity.

l  Practical Commitments: PGLs signed a DEI pledge, committing to welcoming, supporting, and connecting with every student in their team—embracing diversity and creating a warm, inclusive community where everyone feels valued and heard

As we prepare for Orientation Week, SolBridge remains dedicated to ensuring that diversity is not just acknowledged but celebrated. With the training completed, our PGLs are ready to warmly welcome new students and help them feel at home from day one.

Stay tuned for updates on Orientation Week Spring 2025. Together, let’s make SolBridge a truly inclusive community!
