On Caring for Community

Come hear from our University President, Provost, and other Divisional VP's.

This session invites members of the campus community to engage with our institutional leaders around the theme "Caring for Community: the Role of Justice Within the University". In the current climate, many members of our community are looking to institutional leaders to affirm and model the value and practice of community care. This hour-long facilitated conversation will allow the campus community to hear about leadership's vision of how inclusive excellence is part of community care.

This event is part of Critical Social Justice (CSJ) Week. CSJ is a campus-wide initiative dedicated to deepening our collective understanding of equity, inclusion, and community care. Through panels, workshops, and creative programming, CSJ Week invites students, staff, and faculty to engage in meaningful conversations about justice and belonging within and beyond the university.

Critical Social Justice has a history in the Women's, Gender, & Equity Center, and we are excited to bring back this work now within the Community & Culture unit in the Division of Institutional Equity.
