Justice, Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion Center
Resources
The Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Center is proud to provide several resources for the Southwestern University community to help support students that are historically underrepresented and for the entire campus community. More information and details are provided below about each resource.
All-Gender Restrooms
Through the efforts of a campaign led by students in SU Planned Piratehood, SU Fed Up, and the JEDI Center, All Gender restrooms were established on campus in 2015. A map indicating the locations of these restrooms can be found below.
Dimensions of Diversity Certificate Program
The Dimensions of Diversity Certificate program discusses foundational information about how to create transformational change within institutions. Join us on this 5 week series as we introduce different dimensions of diversity and inclusion and will discuss how to address systemic forms of social inequities.
Educational Awareness Resources on Racism/Bias
The JEDI Center has created a list of resources on racism/bias. Use the link below to access these resources.
HALO Student Guide
The Hispanic and Latinx Organization (HALO) has created an amazing zine packed with useful information. The project is intended to provide a convenient, efficient resource for especially BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) first-year and first-generation students.
Mentoring Program
The mission of the peer-to-peer mentoring program is to assist first-year, historically underrepresented students (i.e. domestic ethnic minorities, LGBTQIA+ students, and students with disabilities) in their transition to Southwestern and surrounding communities.
Workshops
The JEDI center hosts several workshops throughout the year and upon request. These workshops are designed to educate students about various aspects of social justice and diversity.
