Safe Zone and Cultivating Inclusion professional development sessions are offered twice a year, and require registration.

Campus Partnerships

The Center works to support faculty and staff groups across campus who are committed to advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion. We encourage you to explore the many employee groups on campus that work to build opportunities for networking, programming, and scholarly collaboration including The Black and African Diaspora Forum United, Growing Together as Allies, Latinx Connect, First to Fly/First, Too at MU, and the Program for Gender and Intersectionality Studies. 

Affinity-Based Networking

The Intercultural Center is committed to hosting opportunities for historically underrepresented employees to network, navigate resources, and thrive on campus. This includes once-a-semester networking lunches for Employees of Color and LGBTQIA+ Employees. Check our upcoming events page for more information.

Campus Climate Assessment

The center collaborates with the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness to conduct and disseminate campus climate assessments on a regular basis (4-year cycle). This practice assists in developing data-informed and campus-wide areas of priority and focus as it relates to campus belonging and equity. To view our most recent campus climate assessment, please visit the portal.

Events and Initiatives Co-Sponsorships

The Center conducts outreach through an active presence on social media and maintains an equity and inclusion events calendar. We can be an avenue to advertise your programs to a campus-wide audience or provide a co-sponsorship if the program falls within the umbrella of social justice, diversity, and inclusion. For more significant co-sponsorships, campus members can also explore the Diversity Innovation Grant (DIG) program. If you would like to collaborate with the center on a specific program or initiative, please email us at intercultural@monmouth.edu.
