Programs & Events
We offer a variety of social and educational programs that work to affirm identities, provide space for learning and create community. Our events are open to everyone at 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ; no matter how you identify.
Identity Months & Weeks
Since the early 1900s, the nation has dedicated days and months for specific underrepresented communities whom have faced much discrimination in the country. Therefore, one method of embracing 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ's commitment to nurture equality, diversity, and inclusivity is through identity months/weeks which correspond with the national cultural months/weeks. Working collaboratively with 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ student organizations, faculty and staff, each identity month/week offers to educate and celebrate our nation, our campus, and ourselves.
