Sponsored Events
University-wide diversity events that enrich both the campus and community
Each year, the Office for Equity and Diversity sponsors a series of campus-wide events
that are attended by both campus and community members. These events include outstanding
presentations by notable scholars and civil rights activists, as well as performances
by a variety of exceptional musicians and performers exemplifying the richness and beauty
of inclusion. Sponsored events include the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration,
honoring the legendary civil rights leader; Women’s Week, marking the contributions of
women; Days of Remembrance, commemorating the Jewish holocaust of WWII; and Pride Week,
recognizing the contributions of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community.
Below is a full list of the annual OED sponsored events.
