Gateway to Belonging at OU program director candidates to make virtual campus visits in webinar series

Candidates for director of the Gateway to Belonging at OU program, a mandatory diversity, equity and inclusion course for students, will visit campus virtually from April 13 to April 23.
A mandatory semester-long course for students on diversity was one of the demands made by the Black Emergency Response Team in February 2020, protesting the university administration’s response to two acts of racism on campus that month. The course became a formal part of the university’s strategic plan when it was unveiled in July 2020.
The Gateway to Belonging at OU general education course is hosted at the university for new OU students to “build an intercultural awareness,” according to an email sent on behalf of Joshua Nelson, the chair of the Search Committee for the director. By understanding different perspectives — such as abilities, cultures and social backgrounds — students will build an “intercultural awareness” that will help them interact more effectively with others, Nelson wrote.
