Office of Equity and Inclusion

Objectives

The objectives for Oregon State University's celebration are simple, but important.  They are

• Provide opportunities for our community to learn about and reflect on the life and legacy of Dr. King and collaboratively envision ways to carry his work forward.
• Provide opportunities for our community to participate in an impactful, inclusive, and engaging celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. King.

Planning

The planning team is made up of stakeholders (students, staff, and faculty) who are engaged in planning a celebration that will be meaningful and inclusive, and that will provide opportunities for our community to come together in celebration, in reflection, and in service.  The planning process is open to anyone who would like to lend their voice and their energy to make this year's celebration meaningful and impactful.  Please contact the Office of Equity and Inclusion if you would like to participate.
