Office of Diversity and Inclusion
The Office of Diversity and Inclusion works with the Carl Sandburg College community to cultivate appreciation and respect for all human differences. At Carl Sandburg College, we strive to create social justice and to treat all people with respect, honoring human dignity. We also recognize the importance of inclusion-allowing space for multiple perspectives and narratives is an integral component of appreciating diversity. Through formal and informal educational programs, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion engages students, faculty, and staff to reflect on and learn about complex issues that either impede or facilitate social justice.
The coordinator of diversity and inclusion also advises and mentors underrepresented students on an individual and organizational basis. Additionally, the office collaborates with other programs and departments to ensure that we are engaging diversity and practicing inclusion campus-wide.
