"Dr. Shorter-Gooden is a dynamic educator and expert in field of diversity. She provided Coppin’s employees a solid framework of how to define and identify implicit bias. She demonstrated how negative biases influence decisions that affect institutional goals. Her training exercises allow each participant the tools to do self-discovery and obtain solutions that inspire positive change both professionally and personally.”
