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.

STORMÉ DeLAVERIE

Stormé DeLarverie is a Black and LGBTQ+ rights activist best known for her involvement in the Stonewall uprising. Often known for throwing the first punch that sparked the queer liberation movement, DeLarverie often states there were so many people it's hard to say who was the true catalyst. Nevertheless, DeLarverie still played a crucial figure in the movement; she even helped organize and lead the first Pride Parade. Until her death, she continued to play an active part in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, earning her the nickname "guardian of the lesbians in the Village."
