“Dr. Julie Ancis’ diversity and inclusion work is superb. I led a working group charged with examining diversity outcomes at Emory University and then educating the Emory community about the resources and training already taking place on our campus, as well as opportunities for diversity program growth at Emory. Once our working group had completed its research, we hired Dr. Ancis to consult with us and discuss our findings. Her exceptional listening skills coupled with a talented ability to draw solutions from our discussions using pointed questions and insightful, in-depth comments about our work, helped us move forward in an effective and empowered manner. I have also seen Dr. Ancis conduct workshops, and she is a talented, high-energy presenter and facilitator with an ability to get to the heart of the matter to create positive change.”

“Dr. Julie Ancis recently led an extremely successful training on implicit bias at our college. Participants, representing faculty and administrators, raved about the event, reporting that it changed their way of thinking about hiring processes and opened up important conversations in departments and administrative offices. Dr. Ancis’s honesty and humor bring people into this complicated and sometimes uncomfortable discussion in way that is normally hard to do. I highly recommend Dr. Ancis for training events and workshops for any campus, small and large, as she is extremely experienced and knowledgeable about a variety of issues related to implicit bias, diversity, and gender.”
