Get Involved

Current groups and events on campus

Our campus groups are inclusive—just because you may not identify as a member of a group doesn’t mean you can’t take part in that group, drop in on a meeting to get to know what they’re about, or help support them.  Contact the group leader to find out how.

Goals of our campus groups include:

  • Maintaining a strong and active Diversity Committee
  • Pre-Orientation programs for students of color and international students
  • Utilizing Mellon Foundation funding to increase faculty diversity and experiential learning opportunities for students from underrepresented groups.
