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.

John Trudell
|
|
|
John Trudell was the son of a Santee Dakota father and a Mexican mother. He is most known for his involvement in the American Indian Movement as a leader and spokesman. Specifically with his participation in the United Indians of All Tribes’ occupation of Alcatraz Island and the 71-day occupation of Wounded Knee. After the death of his family in a house fire, he stepped back from activism, but later on, he got involved in creating music and poetry to deal with his rage and pain. Some of his most known poems include “Look at Us” and “To God.”
