÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥

To advance equity and belonging for all who study and work at ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ requires action and learning:

• About structures and practices that exclude, even inadvertently—and how to interrupt and change those practices
• About histories that shape our perspectives, and the language in which we express them
• About assumptions that we all make about identities
• About communicating across differences
• About how to listen more effectively.

Each individual and department at ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ is responsible for and expected to engage in at least one learning opportunity each semester related to the advancement of equity and belonging. To support varied needs and interests, the College provides multiple opportunities. Below you will find links to campus events and ongoing programs; resources for faculty and staff; and a selection of approaches that administrative departments have taken to learn, to examine practices, and to work toward the goal of creating a ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ in which all can feel a sense of belonging.

This is a dynamic, living resource. Please send suggestions for additions or updates to Ruth Lindeborg.
