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
(Sept 15- Oct 15)

Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation
|
|
|
|
|
The theme chosen by the National Council of Hispanic Employment Program Managers for this year's Hispanic Heritage Month is "Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation". This theme is a summarization of how the Hispanic community of America is comprised of individuals that bring an array of culture, language, educational background, and experiences to our society. Creating space for all of these people to be seen and heard helps create stronger communities and negate the issues affecting our nation and its marginalized citizens.
