In The News

The world is an ever evolving place which can make it difficult to stay information on the most current topics related to equity, justice, inclusion, and advocacy. To do our part on campus, the CDI team is curating a list of recent news articles to help students, staff, and faculty learn more. Check back in a few times per month to see an updated list. If you have a suggestion of an article that should be added, please send it to cdi@xavier.edu with a brief (50-100 word) summary for consideration.
