Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
At SIUE, the Inclusive Excellence, Education and Development Hub (The Hub) (formerly the Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion, or CSDI), serves as the equity, diversity and inclusion education and development, programming and resource center for SIUE students, faculty, staff and community members.
The Hub provides dynamic and purposefully developed educational opportunities and programming that raise awareness and understanding about social differences and inequity; establish shared language and definitions supportive of institutional alignment; and equip each of us with the skills and knowledge needed to do the work of inclusive excellence and anti-racism.
Our Mission and Vision
The Hub is dedicated to achieving and supporting SIUE’s institutional goal of inclusion which is central to the learning, development and success of our campus community through educational opportunities that encourage dialogue and critical reflection. The Hub aims to ensure this community is welcoming, supportive, and a place where all may find a sense of belonging which honors each person's unique story and experiences.
To achieve these objectives, The Hub engages with students and the greater campus community through a variety of programs and initiatives, offering opportunities for participation on multiple levels.
