Get Involved With The Antiracist Book Club!
The Antiracist Book Club is a program established by the Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ADEI) Leadership Team.
Throughout many conversations with campus stakeholders, the ADEI leadership team has had requests for reading lists, book clubs, and other forms of development to keep our momentum strong. This initiative is meant to take place wherever you are, whoever you are. We encourage you to read the current selection with whatever groups you are already a part of. Whether you’re a club, athletic team, academic department, or just a group of friends, we will provide the tools, you just need to make the time!

Special Antiracist Community of Action (ACA)
Lunch and Learn Opportunity
February 20, 2024
12:00 pm-1:30 pm

The Antiracist Community of Action (ACA) is a collaborative, judgment-free environment where interested parties can come together with a common purpose to develop awareness, gain knowledge, and build confidence through guided practice and discovery. The ACA operates with a shared and inclusive facilitation structure, so no one person is considered the “leader.” The non-hierarchical structure increases psychological safety, welcomes diverse ADEI topics of interest, and allows for constructive feedback and perspective that helps to build capacity while offering pragmatic application of ADEI principles and strategies.

TRY USING AN ADEI TIP OF THE MONTH…
Stop performative and symbolic activism. Genuine forms of allyship require action and a willingness to step up and speak up in times of need. Allyship does not mean that we only show our patronage during months of observance, and it is not enough to educate ourselves about the history and current plights of systemic injustice faced by members of marginalized communities; instead, this is only the first step in an antiracism journey. Authentic allyship requires an intentional disposition to act and support minoritized communities by leveraging our privilege and power when an opportunity presents itself to do our part in moving the needle forward.

ADEI in Action!
The President’s office participated in this year’s week of action. From cooking to organizing pantry items to clean up, the president’s office staff supported a local nonprofit whose mission is to ignite the potential in youth to exit homelessness and create self-determined, fulfilled lives. Community social responsibility (CSR) is critical in advancing our institutional antiracism commitment. According to Rupp and Mallory (2015), CSR is positively associated with increased organizational identification, social identity, social exchange, relationship management, and other theories of justice, all describing the psychological and systems-level impact that community service participation awards.
