Inclusive Engagements, LLC’s inaugural clients offer these words regarding the quality of services delivered to their campuses:
Trinity Christian College, Palos Heights, IL (Spring 2016)
“The Trinity Christian College Faculty, Staff and Students were immensely enriched by the presence, message, and engagement in our community by Dr. Lawrence Burnley, Inclusive Engagements LLC. Dr. Burnley encouraged our leadership and community to prioritize and invest fully in the work toward diversity, inclusion and excellence through thoughtful conversation, transparent storytelling as well as academic/historical context in a dynamic workshop. Our students welcomed his challenge to consider the curriculum and pedagogy that governs their learning at our institution and to be proactive in influencing the expansion and diversification of it. Overall, Dr. Burnley customized a day of engagement with our learning community and provided such rich insight that we cannot wait for the next opportunity to engage with Inclusive Engagements, LLC.”

Bellevue College
“Inclusive Engagements, LLC thoughtfully developed a customized training for the administrators, faculty, and staff at our university: Understanding and Deconstructing Cultural Dominance in Core Curriculum: Building Capacity for Effective Intercultural Communication. The training was very beneficial as it further outlined the challenges that we face at our college, in addition to, assisting with the discussion and development of transformational strategies. The facilitator Larry Burnley was exceptional; his knowledge of the material and passion was obvious. He brought depth and professionalism to the complex topic of Intercultural Communication. I was able to examine and challenge my assumptions and biases; as well as, develop the capacity to think critically about why privileged voices are required across multiple academic disciplines. I am happy we selected Inclusive Engagements, LLC for our training. I have since recommended Inclusive Engagements, LLC to my colleagues, and others in the community.”
