Maxwell Insights: Diversity and Inclusion Spotlight (Bi-Weekly Newsletter)
Maxwell Affinity Groups
Maxwell is home to a few different affinity groups for faculty and staff. These school-wide groups bring together individuals with similar identities to provide community and additional mentoring and to empower them during their time in Maxwell. They are intended to complement similar groups across the broader campus and aim to fill gaps to ensure we are creating an environment where everyone feels they belong.
To learn about existing groups in Maxwell, join them, or voice your interest in establishing other groups, please contact:
Faculty of Color - Junko Takeda jtakeda@syr.edu, Devashish Mitra dmitra@syr.edu.
Staff of Color - Stephanie Williams (sdwillia@syr.edu)
Syracuse University offers campus-wide resources for community-building within the Intercultural Collective at the Schine Student Center—including the Office of Multicultural Affairs, the Disability Cultural Center, and the LGBTQ Resource Center.
Students are also encouraged to inquire within Maxwell’s academic departments for a range of involvement opportunities, including clubs, honor societies, Living Learning Communities, and more. Visit Maxwell’s public events calendar for Culture and Conversation Tables, where you can practice non-English languages and learn about different world regions.
Multicultural Calendar of EventsDear Maxwell Community,
Welcome to the "Maxwell DEIA Spotlight" newsletter! We are excited to launch this platform dedicated to highlighting Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) initiatives within our vibrant Maxwell community and across campus.
Our goal with this newsletter is simple yet powerful: to spotlight and celebrate the remarkable DEIA efforts, big or small, within our community. These initiatives are the building blocks of a more inclusive and equitable Maxwell, and we want to ensure they receive the recognition they deserve.
We encourage all members of our community to actively engage with us. If you witness, participate in, or hear about any DEIA-related activities or achievements that you believe should be highlighted in our biweekly letter, please don't hesitate to contact Stephanie Williams at sdwillia@syr.edu or call at 3-3272. Your contributions and insights are invaluable as we work together to foster a culture of DEIA excellence at Maxwell.
Thank you for being a part of this important journey with us.
