"The Five Love Languages: Nurturing Relationships in Educational Settings" explores how understanding and applying the five love languages—words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch—can significantly enhance relationships within educational environments. By recognizing and valuing the diverse ways individuals give and receive love, educators and staff can foster a more inclusive and supportive atmosphere. This presentation aims to equip participants with practical strategies to build stronger connections with colleagues and students, ultimately contributing to a more positive and productive educational experience. Aligning with MSU’s Diversity Strategic Plan Goal 4, this presentation supports the recruitment, retention, and success of diverse faculty, staff, and students by emphasizing the importance of understanding and addressing individual needs and preferences. By providing insights into the five love languages, the presentation encourages professional development centered on access, equity, diversity, and inclusion. It promotes collaborative efforts to develop academic and support services that enhance the experiences of students of color, thereby fostering a more inclusive campus environment. Through the sharing of strategies and resources, this initiative contributes to the overall mission of creating a supportive and equitable educational setting. Email: Lohuertas@msudenver.edu to RSVP
