21-Day Challenges

21-Day Equity Habit Building Challenge:
Focus on Women and the LGBTQ+ Community

Sponsored by TIAA, Segal, Fidelity Investments, PageUp, PeopleAdmin

You are invited to be part of our next CUPA-HR 21-Day Equity Habit Building Challenge for higher education leaders. The concept of the 21-day challenge was introduced several years ago by diversity expert Eddie Moore, Jr. to create greater understanding of the intersections of race, power, privilege, supremacy, oppression and equity.

This challenge, first shared in June 2021, focuses on women and the LGBTQ+ community, providing an opportunity to learn about the barriers and experiences affecting each group and to identify clear actions you and your institution can take to make your workplace and campus community more inclusive.

Join us as we work to create effective habits in support of social justice by immersing ourselves in a daily exploration of inequity, injustice and what we can do to implement real change. Although we encourage you to take the previous 21-day challenges, also available on demand, it is not a prerequisite for participating in this one.

How Does the Challenge Work?

This 21-day challenge is divided into four weeks with different themes, resources and discussion questions. To make the most of the challenge, cultivate a habit of doing a little each day. The themes are:

  • Week 1 — Heightening Awareness of Women's Issues and Challenges
  • Week 2 — Working to Create Equity for Women at Work
  • Week 3 — Exploring the LGBTQ+ Community in the Workforce
  • Week 4 — Opportunities to Advocate for Our LGBTQ+ Colleagues

Participation is free and self-paced. 

21-Day Challenges are open to CUPA-HR members only. All employees at member organizations are considered members of CUPA-HR and only need a CUPA-HR web account linked to their organization to access the challenge.
