"Together we will continue to build on the University’s recent momentum and support her leadership as DePauw moves forward boldly with our distinctive model of a 21st-century liberal arts and sciences university.”
“We are building a strong infrastructure to sustain our institutional commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion to help get members of our community informed on issues and matters relevant to developing a more just, diverse, equitable, and inclusive climate.”
Utica College is a member of a prestigious coalition of colleges and universities across the country, formed to examine race and equity on college campuses. The Liberal Arts College Racial Equity Leadership Alliance (LACRELA) fosters greater understanding in combating these issues.
Developed by Shaun Harper, Race and Equity Center executive director at the University of Southern California (USC), LACRELA seeks to help professionals at colleges develop and achieve equity goals, better understand and correct problems, avoid and recover from racial incidents, and foster sustainable cultures of inclusion.
