social justice in stem
"Social Justice in STEM" is a new monthly Duck Dialogue series on topics ranging from algorithmic bias, to the history of medical testing, to environmental justice and more. As we consider how STEM can be used in the fight for inclusion and justice, we also will reflect on past and current inequities. Undergraduate and graduate students who attend 4 of the 7 dialogues in this series will be eligible to receive a Social Justice in STEM certificate. Learn more here!
anti-racism resources
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.

about diversity education
Diversity Education takes on many forms at Stevens including programs such as heritage months, awareness weeks, affinity luncheons, Safe Zone Ally training, facilitated discussions, workshops, and invited guest speakers. All programs are created through an intentionally intersectional lens. Through this programming, the Office of Undergraduate Student Life seeks to:

  • foster a deeper understanding of equity and inclusion
  • cultivate safe(r) spaces for all Stevens community members 
  • empower Stevens students, faculty, and staff
