All groups

The Office of Inclusive Excellence fosters connections for the university community through a range of collaborative groups, committees, initiatives, and affinity spaces.

University-wide inclusive excellence work is accomplished through committees and initiatives. These spaces also serve as communication pipelines for gathering feedback and sharing updates with key individuals doing diversity, equity, and inclusion work at CSU.

Affinity groups are employee-run and are supported through the Office of Inclusive Excellence. These spaces offer community building through shared identity connections for CSU employees, including faculty, staff, and graduate students.
