Advocacy and Response
Meeting the goals of our Inclusive Excellence Plan is an ongoing process of engagement, education, collaboration, assessment, and modification. We recognize that the process of meeting our goals is not simple and that there are barriers that need to be addressed. In order to address these issues, the Office of Inclusive Excellence coordinates with campus stakeholders to alleviate concerns while advocating for policies and practices that aim to remove the impact of these barriers.
Intergroup Dialogue
Intergroup Dialogue is a face-to-face conversation between members of two or more social identity groups centered around a topic under the umbrella of social justice, equity, and inclusion. The goal of intergroup dialogue is to create a new level of understanding, relating, and action. By exploring social identities, intergroup dialogue helps create an understanding of the ways that social and systemic structures promote privilege and inequality. Participating in intergroup dialogue creates strong relationships across differences through the development of empathy and bridge-building. Intergroup Dialogue promotes intergroup collaboration and a shared sense of personal and social responsibility.
