QUOTABLES:
“Serving first-generation students is an ongoing challenge. We're far from perfect as a university community.”
“Creating these six DEI subcommittees is our attempt to institutionalize diversity, equity, and inclusion and to build a DEI culture into the structure of the university itself, across all departments and divisions."

Such an amazing platform. So many milestones have been made and so many more to come.
What an amazing podcast! I’ve received so much value from these conversations and experiences. This podcast is shedding light on some very important topics, especially in todays climate. I have been loving every moment! Diverse In The Margins is most definitely worth the listen!
This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
Such a great approach on the different perspectives surrounding diversity and how it affects all communities! Enjoying each episode!
