The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee works to create experiences with the goal of bringing awareness to diverse groups of people on campus.
Tunnel of Oppression spreads awareness towards different identities and Social Justice issues. Participants will be able to navigate various activities surrounding topics such as Race, Mental Health, Sexual Violence, LGBTQ+, Poverty, Food Insecurity, (Dis)-Ability.
Held every Spring, DEI Week is a week sponsored by RHA that brings students together to help understand the diverse and unique world we live in. The week focuses on intentional programming and activities that educate and encourage the campus community.
