Hosted by the College of Letters and Sciences, the Campus Diversity Forum is an annual event that highlights the importance of diversity on campus and around the world. The theme this year is Diversity, Justice, and the Environment. The forum should “foster opportunities for cross-pollination of ideas among faculty, staff, and students” and allow us to examine the “environmental impact of materials sourcing, overconsumption, human population explosion, and climate change on the most vulnerable human communities among us.”
