The Social Equity and Title IX Office is excited about this new academic year. We look forward to engaging programming, cultural celebrations, and leadership and professional development opportunities here at IUP. Please be sure to read and contribute to our weekly Monday morning Digest and check out the Central and calendars.

If your organization or department is planning a DEI-related program this year and needs help with funding or additional social media advertising, please contact my office at social-equity@iup.edu.

Upcoming programming of note:
