Southern Illinois University Carbondale will celebrate its rich history of diversity and inclusion while also looking toward a more diverse, equitable and inclusive future during Diversity Week 2021. The activities start Monday, Aug. 30, and run through Sept. 3.
Known for a longstanding tradition of diversity dating back to the university’s inaugural class of 143 students, SIU’s 2021 celebration will include guest speakers, discussions, special presentations, training sessions and a dance performance from the award-winning Infinite Flow Dance group. All of the events are free and open to the campus community and the public.
“We have the unique opportunity to educate our community on diverse cultures and address the differences that exist among us, all the while seeing our inclusive excellence on display,” said Paul Frazier, vice chancellor for diversity, equity and inclusion.
