Diversity and inclusive excellence at Wheaton College is a work in progress; that is, a process that requires constant monitoring, honing, and refining. We must always be asking the questions: What should diversity look like and what does inclusive excellence mean for our type of small liberal arts institution? How can we achieve equity in today’s world and for the future?
Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan
Volunteer Opportunities
We are looking for alumni volunteers to help develop and plan our next Alumni of Color Conference. Listed below are the committees we are looking to create. If you are interested, please sign up through the link below.
Artifact Committee
Work with the Steering Committee to find creative ways to showcase donated artifacts during the weekend. Work with the college’s Historian and Special Collections Curator, Director of Archives and Digital initiatives, and a current student to identify gaps in the college’s historical collection. Offer creative ways to showcase artifacts on the website after the celebration.
Attendance/Marketing Committee
This committee is responsible for inspiring the alumni of color network to join the event as well as creating marketing content to drive programming and attendance.
Symposium Committee
This committee is responsible for developing panels and interactive sessions as well as recommending speakers and panelists to the Steering Committee. The sessions should represent a range of topics and interests. Please be mindful that we will have multiple generations at the conference.
