Diversity Institute marks milestones
05/28/2021
More than 25 years ago, when SUNY Cortland enrolled students of color numbering in the low single digits, a small cohort of faculty undertook to prepare the rest of the faculty and professional staff for a very different future.
Today approximately a quarter of the student body self-identifies as other than white/non-Latinx and over the course of some 20 years about 200 colleagues have prepared themselves for that future which is now here, through the Summer Institute for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Social Justice.
This year’s summer institute is filled, and there’s a waiting list of faculty, professional staff and administrators to participate in the small and very personalized training program from Tuesday, June 1, to Thursday, June 3.
