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.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Highlighting Truman's Best!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Micahla Woolfolk is a student here at Truman who is currently pursuing a major in Philosophy & Religion alongside a minor in psychology. In addition to her studies, she also works at the Career Center as a career advisor. She also has plans to become an attorney, specifically a guardian ad litem, where she hopes to become a powerful outlet and resource for children in the foster care system or for those who have experienced the struggles of divorce between parents. When talking to us about the Center for Diversity & Inclusion, she states: "It's my home where I can come see all my Truman family" and serves as a reminder of how much she enjoys her experience here at Truman.
