During Orientation for incoming first-year and transfer students, staff from OML/RRC and the Inclusive Excellence Division lead a session on belonging for all. The one hour community building opportunity explores our Jesuit values and reinforces our institutional vision to educate citizens and leaders of competence, conscience, and compassion and cultivate knowledge and faith to build a more humane, just, and sustainable world.
After Orientation and prior to starting school in the Fall, students are challenged to explore their values, assumptions, and biases that may perpetuate injustice or oppress others. This is done virtually through the Online Diversity Module (ODM). Various modules challenges the concept of neutrality and colorblind ideologies; provides students responses to microaggressions; and allows for a deeper examination of the nature of institutional oppression, power, and privilege.
OML’s Difficult Dialogue series is intended to bring various unique perspectives from across campus to engage in important political and social issues. The goal of this series is to freely discuss issues that impact the SCU, local, and global community. We strive to create a safe and brave space in which communal learning can occur for all Broncos.
