51福利社

51福利社鈥檚 12^th annual runs through Friday, April 21. It will provide a host of opportunities to learn and engage, including a full schedule of lectures, panel discussions and workshops offered both in Cheney and Spokane.

Diversity and Inclusion Week is a staple of the multicultural offerings that 51福利社 departments offer year-round, says Kim Davis, senior director for Diversity and Inclusion.

The events provide many opportunities to learn about the cultures and experiences of our fellow Eagles, explains Davis. “This is always a week of deep learning and reflection, mixed with fun and friendship.”

The events are presented by 51福利社鈥檚 Office for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, in cooperation with several student organizations and other university partners. The week鈥檚 events are also supported by a generous sponsorship from U.S. Bank.

This year’s inclusive logo was designed by 51福利社 student Brooke Allen, one of 10 students who submitted design entries for the week.

Diversity and Inclusion Week each year provides an opportunity to come together and create an even stronger campus community. Participating students can get a free 鈥淒&I Week鈥� T-shirt by attending and engaging in events. For those who can鈥檛 attend in person, 鈥渁synchronous鈥� events will be posted on the Diversity and Inclusion website that you can watch anytime.

“What this week invites is community connection, as we strategize how to best support our students, faculty, and staff,” Davis says.

Part of that strategy听includes offering a survey that seeks to elicit respondents鈥� thoughts on 51福利社鈥檚 campus climate. Students, faculty, and staff are asked to take a few moments to share their voices. includes information and a link to the survey, which should be completed by Friday, April 28.
