Office of Diversity and Inclusion
The goal of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion is to demonstrate inclusion, diversity, equity, and acceptance of various cultures at Jacksonville State University and our community. We strive to generate a campus of mutual admiration and kindness. All of our discussions and programs are offered to students as well as faculty and staff intentionally as voluntary sessions. We do not have any diversity and inclusion mandated activities. We are determined to live up to our motto as being, “The Friendliest Campus in the South” by educating our students on the true meaning of cultural awareness and respect.
Diversity refers to the traits and characteristics that make people unique while inclusion refers to the behaviors and social norms that ensure people experience a sense of belonging. Jacksonville State University is committed to celebrating and welcoming differences. Understanding and appreciating interdependence of humanity and cultures. JSU’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion is dedicated to intentionally creating a welcoming environment to all of our students.
The Office of Diversity and Inclusions invites you to join us for our second annual Juneteenth Celebration! There will be games, food, local black owned business vendors to buy from, dancing, music, and more. The surrounding JSU community is invited to attend the festivities, so please feel free to bring a friend or family member.
Festivities will start at 5:00PM and end at 9:00PM. Vendors are invited to set-up at 3:30PM the day of the event. Vendors can sign up to be a vendor by following the instructions outlined in the following Microsoft Form.
We look forward to seeing you there!
