My capstone project has been given the green light by my department head. Whew! Now, I need to start laying the groundwork for my capstone. I have to find someone at work that will be my mentor/advisor on this project. I have a couple of ideas for that. I need to fill out my application detailing my capstone, then register for classes. Where I work, we have monthly trainings that we do on all sorts of topics. These trainings are done online. And there is a huge library of extra training classes you can take. I have definitely been taking advantage of that. That's when my idea came to me.
At the moment, I work for a company that still stands with DEI because they understand how important it is in senior living. While I was taking some of my training classes, I searched the library for DEI. While we do have several that mention it and some that DEI is the subject of, I want to be more specific than that. I want to develop staff training on how to interact with seniors who are LGBTQ+. We have not had much experience in that area where I work, but that part of the senior community is going to be growing and expanding, and we need to be prepared. Despite what is going on in this country, I feel strongly about this and think that I can make a difference in this area.
So, now it's time to move forward with this idea and hope that it is beneficial to me, my UNCG department and my employer. We shall see.
