Join us for a Heritage Months initiative in partnership with C+V

On the 20th of January 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris was sworn in as the first Women to hold the second highest position in the government of the United States of America. A century and half have gone by since the Seneca Falls Convention where women first advanced what was then a radical notion that American women were autonomous individuals with political power. However, even now women are still achieving “firsts” in various disciplines, leadership, and industry. In this conversation we ask some trailblazing women who are firsts in their positions in institutional leadership about the experience of shattering glass ceilings and the continuing struggle to shed patriarchal systems of thinking and practice.

Learn About our DU Community!

"I am from..." poems are a creative way to reflect on the many intersecting identities we all hold. The poems illustrate the way we move about the world with a sensory journey of our most memorable and influential moments in life. 

ODEI and Community + Values have partnered to create a spotlight centering the intersectionality of the DU community called "Summit Snapshots: 20 Years of Intersectionality at DU."  To read through inspiring poems written by members of our community, please click the link below.
