Nancy Kirkpatrick held a webinar in July as she discussed how to begin to build a sense of inclusion and belonging in our libraries and organizations.

This workshop takes us from talking to doing. We’ll examine characteristics and norms that might be getting in the way of building inclusion and strategize about how to change them. We encourage you to bring several stakeholders from your organization, so you can begin to address challenges you may be experiencing on your campus and walk away with the beginnings of a plan for real change.

Our diversity statement:  “Inspired by St. Ignatius of Loyola's capacity to find God in all things, Le Moyne seeks to build a respectful, welcoming campus culture that celebrates difference and models inclusion. Uniqueness is expressed through gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age physical and mental attributes, and religious an political beliefs. A Catholic, Jesuit college has a particular responsibility to provide an environment for the safe and nurturing exploration of difference, while also offering rich, ample opportunities for students to pursue the Jesuit ideal of "education in dialogue with the world."
