Students, faculty, and staff are invited to the Mount’s first-ever Student Diversity Conference on Sunday, March 19, 2023.
“Our theme for this year is “Creating an Equitable Environment Where Everyone Succeeds,” says diversity, equity & inclusion coordinator Samuel Fowler.
“This conference is intended to provide students with a space to gather and interact with each other and talk about the important issues of diversity, inclusion, and social justice. We wanted students not only to increase their knowledge but also get comfortable talking to each other about these topics and realizing that they can learn so much just from talking to each other and listening to others unique lived experiences.”
The concerence aims to enhance the quality of life for culturally diverse students, enhance positive outcomes of cultural diversity on campus, reinforce the commitment to student centric success through Athletic Coach-Student relations, and more.
