Diversity Initiatives & Resource Centers (DIRC) supports students by building communities that foster a sense of belonging, creating opportunities to engage in self-discovery and critical inquiry, and serving as a hub for resources in inclusive and affirming spaces. We create engagement opportunities that empower, educate, and activate students in the areas of social justice, equity, and anti-racism. We are home to five identity-based resource centers: African American, Asian Pacific American, Latinx Community, LGBTQ, and Titan Dreamers.
Your support will assist DIRC in creating brave learning and community-building opportunities for students who identify with our centers. It will also open new opportunities to expand co-curricular learning to a larger subset of students through cultural competency education and social justice training. Together, we can continue to support the experiences of our Titans with historically marginalized identities, break down barriers in accessing higher education, and transform the Titan experience.
When 10 donors make a gift to DIRC, an additional $1,000 gift will be unlocked AND donations to any of our Diversity Initiatives and Resource Centers will be matched dollar for dollar up to $4,000. Thank you to Diane Shammas for your matching gift!
