Equity & Inclusion Week

Everyone in our community is invited to come together for Wesleyan's annual Equity and Inclusion Week, a week of programs and activities centering the themes of equity and inclusion. From discussion spaces to ‘lunch & learns’ to informal gatherings, we look forward to coming together in community as we practice and uplift our values.

For Equity & Inclusion Week 2024, we are focusing on the practices, policies, and initiatives at Wesleyan that impact the realization of equity and inclusion for students.

As a follow-up to the Equity & Inclusion Student Town Hall that took place on November 2nd, where we learned about initiatives and updates in the areas of Financial Aid, Admission, Campus Life, and Academic Life (find a list at this link), we are now organizing an opportunity for students to come together with the faculty and staff who oversee and support this work.

Please join us for these conversations to ask questions, share your thoughts, and to meet the people whose work impacts these important topics.

All sessions will be at Noon in Usdan 108. Lunch will be provided!  Come to just one or to all three!
