Diversity Education stands in solidarity with anti-racism movements and the work of all people seeking a more inclusive, just and equitable future. We stand in solidarity with Stevens students and offer our continued support, advocacy, educational opportunities and holistic care. We invite all students, faculty, staff, and alumni seeking resources and action steps to join together in community with Diversity Education in this vital work. We recognize the intersecting systems of oppression which impact each of our lives and maintain our commitment to liberation through education. Together we can create positive change, starting with ourselves and our communities. Together, we can contribute to a world where Black Lives Matter and we recognize the value and humanity of every member of our global community.
Please engage the following resources to learn about anti-racism and take action. Contact Diversity Education to learn more.
