Change is inevitable. How we support people through it makes the difference.

Join the Office of Equity and Inclusion for our summer book club read, the memoir Know My Name by Chanel Miller.

* We have reached the number of books we can offer for free. If you would still like to join for book club this summer, you are welcome to purchase the book, or check out your local library or Watzek and join for any and all discussions! :-) Email erikamore@lclark.edu if you plan to join, so she can add you to the calendar invites.

Mark your calendar for the next Belong Cornerstone Webinar, Mission and Belonging: How Faith Principles Inform Belonging Work, on Tuesday, May 5, 12:00–1:00 p.m. Through our campus’s participation in the CIC Belong community, all faculty and staff are invited to attend at no cost.

What does faith have to say about Belonging?

Whether at a historically religious institution or at a secular school, religion influences our approaches to inclusion and difference. Can’t make the live event but still want to engage with the discussion? Register anyway and the recording will be emailed to you following the session!

Register now for this free professional development opportunity through our partnership with the Council of Independent Colleges via the Belong Community. There are only 6 spots available for L&C faculty and staff!

Mid-semester often brings a subtle shift. It’s in this quiet pivot that belonging can loosen, sometimes without our noticing.

This year’s symposium explores dimensions of resistance, activism, and solidarity in relation to gender and sexuality. Join us March 11–13 for keynote presentations, multidisciplinary panels, workshops, readings, and other events, as well as an art exhibition. View the complete event schedule for details.

Long before belonging becomes policy or practice, it begins with something profoundly human: the moment one person looks at another and says, in essence, I see you.

Belonging is deeply human.

Happy Black History Month!

At the start of a new year or new semester, it is important to remind ourselves about the power of belonging in times of transition. One of the most meaningful ways to foster belonging is by highlighting the core values we share.

Belonging is shaped long before a first-class session. It is built through the narratives we help students form about themselves and their place in this community.

Our annual MLK Week will take place from January 19–28. Please RSVP now to attend these events toward service, learning, and action in commemoration of the work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

An exhibition presenting now and future Indigiqueer ancestors who move beyond boundaries in life and art.
