CDI MISSION STATEMENT:
|
|
|
|
The Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) mission is to empower Truman State University community by dismantling disparities which prohibit fair and inclusive access to our resources, services, and programs, simultaneously strengthening the interpersonal relationships with historically unrepresented and systematically minoritized students. CDI believes it is the responsibility of every individual to intentionally contribute attitudes of open-mindedness that helps foster a culture of respect, inclusion, and belonging. Through academically, socially, and culturally responsive programming, CDI will continue to encourage students, administrators, faculty, and staff at Truman State University to engage in meaningful, transformative experiences while celebrating personal uniqueness and communal solidarity.

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH:
Celebrating Latinx Voices
|
|
|
|
|
|
Roberto Clemente
|
|
|
Roberto Clemente was a Puerto Rican professional baseball player who was the first-ever Latino player to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He earned countless awards and broke countless barriers. Clemente also won the Golden Glove Award for 12 consecutive seasons and became the first Latino to help win a World Series Championship in a starter position. Unfortunately, he met his untimely death when he died in a plane crash while delivering aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua. But his legacy and impact on and off the field still lives on today.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT:
Highlighting Truman's Best

Elana Sanders-Braxton is a student here at Truman who is currently pursuing a degree in Classics. In addition to her studies, she is involved in numerous extracurricular activities, including the Association of Black Collegians, Sigma Alpha Iota, and Eta Sigma Phi. Currently, her future plans include either a career in archeology, geology, or higher education. Lastly, when talking to us about the Center for Diversity & Inclusion, she states: “ The CDI keeps me grounded as a student here at Truman. Through it, I’ve been able to meet so many people who genuinely care about and are rooting for me. Whenever I’m struggling, I know I can always come to the CDI for support and reassurance, and that in itself means a great deal to me.”
