Diversity & Anti-racism Initiatives Home About Diversity & Anti-racism Initiatives IN THIS SECTION Colgate University is committed to becoming an anti-racist institution. The University develops and promotes initiatives, programs, events, and resources that foster deep personal reflection, dialogue and action on issues of race, racism and anti-racism. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan The Plan for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion July 2020 status update Current Anti-racism Initiatives University-wide Initiatives There are three University-wide initiatives that are either newly developing or ongoing and essential to our long-term goals. These are: Residential and social life investments The Harlem Renaissance Center–Sophomore Residential Seminar The Colgate History Project New Financial Support and New Programs With the generous support of alumni and trustees, we are pleased to report that Colgate has three new sources of funds to allow us to move quickly to further develop and support DEI efforts. These are: The Henry Livingston Simpson Fund Alumni of Color Third-Century Fund President’s DEI Discretionary Fund National Partnership Colgate has now joined The Consortium for Faculty Diversity, a national consortium that will help diversify our faculty. The consortium partners the premiere research universities in the nation with a small number of leading liberal arts colleges to appoint scholars of color who have recently completed their doctoral degrees. Colgate has now joined this consortium. CFD scholars will come directly to Colgate through new post-doctoral fellowships and will immediately teach in the University’s curriculum. Alumni Programming Thanks to the work of the Partnership for Racial Progress, a group of alumni of color who seek to enhance life at the University and promote a sense of community and connection among Colgate graduates, the University is pleased to announce the following: New Mosaic Program Funds Mosaic connects multicultural alumni with current Colgate students, providing them with an opportunity to learn from alumni experiences on careers and on navigating life during and after Colgate. President’s DEI Discretionary Fund dollars will be provided to enhance this program.

LACRELA was launched by the University of Southern California Race and Equity Center, whose mission is to illuminate, disrupt, and dismantle racism in all its forms. Member colleges have access to special campus surveys and data as well as monthly eConvenings, by invitation, for faculty and staff members seeking to learn more about antiracism and diversity efforts. These three-hour learning sessions, each on a different topic, are delivered by highly respected leaders of national higher education associations, tenured professors who study race relations and people of color, chief diversity officers, and other experienced administrators. Full eConvenings Schedule Employees can access recordings of the previous sessions and the associated resources. Note that you will need to sign in to your Colgate-affiliated Gmail account to access the recordings. Past eConvenings Note: These files are for Colgate use only through permission of LACRELA.
