Sandburg Office of Diversity and Inclusion

The Office of Diversity works with the Sandburg community to cultivate appreciation and respect for all human differences.

At Sandburg, we strive to create social justice and to treat all people with respect, honoring human dignity. The Office of Diversity works with the Carl Sandburg College community to cultivate appreciation and respect for all human differences. We also recognize the importance of inclusion — allowing space for multiple perspectives and narratives as an integral component of appreciating diversity

. Through formal and informal educational programs, the Office of Diversity engages students, faculty, and staff — as individuals and in the community — to reflect on and learn about, complex issues that either impede or facilitate social justice. The coordinator of diversity 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 engaged in diversity and practicing inclusion campus-wide.

March is WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH!!!

“For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.” — Virginia Woolf

Women’s History Month celebrates the contributions, leadership, and impact of women throughout history, culture, and society. Observed nationally since 1987, the celebration grew from a 1978 school-led Women’s History Week in Sonoma, California, and later expanded through presidential proclamation and Congressional recognition.

Her Story IS History.

HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!!!! ✊🏾🖤💛❤️💚

TODAY is the FIRST day of Black History Month — a month that EACH of us should dedicate time to LEARN about the HISTORY and CONTRIBUTIONS of African-Americans to America and the world.

Whether out of FEAR, HATRED, or NEGLECT, the HISTORIC contributions of Black Americans to our nation and the world have not always been recorded and reported in their full glory. It is important to LEARN what we weren’t taught, right the wrongs of the past, and honor their accomplishments.

The PURPOSE of HISTORY is to LEARN where we have been and to ENHANCE where we are going! The 28 days of February do NOT define or limit the time that YOU can CHOOSE to study this HISTORY.

THIS history belongs to ALL of US.

✊🏾
