The guide includes the following recruitment strategies: Uncover the Hidden Curriculum, Build Relationships, Build a Safe Environment, Use Inclusive Language, Normalize Difficulties, Highlight Support Resources, Send An Authentic Message, and (Re)commit to DEI. During the session, an overview of the guide will be provided, and participants will have the opportunity to provide feedback.
