A Professional Growth Opportunity Created for Regis by Regis
Manifest U is a program that aspires to unite the Regis
community to provide professional development in social justice
and inclusive excellence. The goal of this program is for our
community with action-oriented experiences to foster a welcoming
and inclusive climate for everyone.
Delivered through an Integrated (Holistic) Perspective [3], a social justice framework [1], and the guidance and experiences of our community participants, participants are asked to engage in self-reflection, dialogue, workshops, mentoring, experience-based opportunities, etc., to increase their confidence in enacting a wide variety of behaviors relate to diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging. As participants become critically conscious of what contributes to inequitable climates, they will be encouraged to develop their commitments to anti-discriminatory practices and culture.
There is the option for faculty and staff to earn badging and micro-credentials to evidence their development.

Digital badges are an online validation of an individual’s
achievement and competency.
They are generally used to illustrate completion of a noncredit offering [2]. Badges have two key characteristics [2] that make them different from alternative credentials:
✔ They focus on singular skills and competencies, such as communication and writing.
✔ They primarily exist in a digital format. Badges are meant to be easily shared on digital platforms to display and endorse a person's abilities.
