Student Affairs Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Justice (DEIBJ)
Divisional DEIBJ efforts strive to support and sustain a workplace that allows each member of the community to thrive and be well. From a shared equity leadership framework, we work to expand the individual staff and organizational capacity to engage in DEIBJ actions in service to our students. We do this on individual, community, and organizational levels. With DEIBJ work happening throughout the division, we aim to align, connect, and strategize among various initiatives, groups, and programs. As a student-centered organization, we believe we must grow our DEIBJ knowledge, abilities, and skills in order to best understand and center students’ needs.
