CHENEY, Wash. – Eastern Washington University is hosting its Diversity and Inclusion Week, which will include numerous activities for students to participate in.
“This is one week a year where we just really come together as a campus community and continue to elevate and discuss topics that are difficult. This is an opportunity for us to really invite every single person on campus from every single culture to be a part of it,” says Kim Davis, senior director for Diversity and Inclusion.
The event will take place from April 15 through 19 and will include a global crafting workshop, a panel discussion on Building Feminist Futures featuring notable community leaders Natasha Hill, Lili Navarrete, and KJ January, and Realizing Authentic Black Identity, featuring Angela Schwendiman, director of Africana Studies.
The big event will be the Diversity Festival, which will feature tables from campus groups, multicultural pop-up shops, food and performances from around the world. It will be held at the PUB’s NCR to make it more centrally accessible.
There will also be free snacks, prize drawings, and T-shirt giveaways.
Davis hopes that people will take away from this year’s D&I Week and realize that.
“Every single person in this community matters, and they are part of the Eagle Pride, part of what makes us an amazing university.”
