Student Online Diversity Training Now on New Platform


At William Paterson, career readiness is a priority and that's why we are pleased to offer the Vector LMS, Higher Education Student Edition Online Training System to our students.

The Office of Student Diversity & Inclusion serves as a hub for experiential learning, resources and opportunities regarding transformative Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training that prepare students for a diverse workforce as an effective thought leader, advocate and team member that supports the mission of any industry that values diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace environment.

Students that completed the training on the Everfi platform do not need to redo the training. You only need to take this training once while at William Paterson University.    ** A record of student completion status is on file.  Data will be migrated to Vector Solutions by mid-February and will be posted on student dashboards.   Those that did not fully complete the training will need to restart from the beginning as disclosed in an earlier notice in November.   

This course is not mandatory. *Course instructors or supervisors may require this training*. The benefits of Student Diversity Online Training includes power skills (critical thinking, problem-solving, cultural engagement, self-motivation, and collaboration) that strengthens the student’s performance in the workplace and increase skills and productivity as they engage across difference. This training will provide students with foundational knowledge and help students recognize and manage unconscious bias, microaggression, workplace culture, and ally and bystander education.
