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.

Sylvia Rivera

Sylvia Rivera was a Puerto Rican transgender activist. Most commonly known as one of the many inciters of the Stonewall Riots in New York City, she was also a founding member of the Gay Liberation Front and later the Gay Activists Alliance in New York City. With her friend, Marsha P. Johnson, she helped found STAR, a group dedicated to helping homeless trans youth. In addition to being one of the first trans youth shelters, STAR was also one of the world's foremost political organizations for transgender rights.
