Posted: Friday, February 17, 2023Announcing JEDI Social Justice Path in Bengal Connect
The President's Council on Equity and Campus Diversity is pleased to announce that it has connected events that center social justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion into a co-curricular JEDI social justice path in Bengal Connect. Students, faculty, and staff members can organize events they may want to see as well as track their attendance. Everyone on campus has access to Bengal Connect. The path extends beyond Black History Month and includes women's history, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, LGBTQ awareness, and more. The idea is to continue to build out this centralized location for JEDI content each semester.
This is an excellent way for faculty members to enhance their courses or reshape their content to be more inclusive. It is an opportunity to build the curriculum as we move to the new SUNY general education requirement of social justice.
Please log in and check out these no-cost options to diversify student education. For more information, please contact President's Council on Equity and Campus Diversity co-chairs Carlos R. A. Jones, associate dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, or Charles Lyons, director of Butler Library.
