Intercultural Engagement, Inclusion, and Belonging

In order for our inclusion goals to be realized, the path forward needs to be mapped with intentionality. This plan, launched in February 2021, is a living document developed by the Diversity Committee and proposes a series of actions and interventions designed to raise awareness and improve the climate for inclusion.

Our Diversity Committee comprises a range of faculty and staff members and student representatives.

Also accessible are the following resources offering information related to St. Lawrence’s diversity and inclusion efforts: 

• Statement on Diversity
• Presidential Commission on Diversity Report
• Discrimination and Harassment Policy 
• Bias Incident Reporting Form 
• Chosen Name Procedure 
• Student Handbook

Our office also collaborates with academic departments, student service offices, and campus and community organizations.
