WEEAC Virtual College
The WEEAC Virtual College is an online learning format designed for educators to participate in workshops that increase awareness in equity related topics. These courses will be self-paced and free of charge to anyone that participates. The content aligns with the mission of the Equity Assistance Center grant funded by the United States Department of Education.
The Metropolitan State University of Denver Innovative and Lifelong Learning department will issue an electronic certificate of completion when course requirements are fulfilled. Certificates will be issued on a monthly basis. A list will be generated on the 15th of each month and will be sent shortly after to the email address listed in the completion survey.
