CSUCI is proud to be a member of the University of Southern California (USC) Racial Equity Leadership Alliance (RELA). This alliance, created by the USC Race and Equity Center, serves as a tool to achieve our goals towards advancing racial and social justice on our campus.
Our membership provides access to:
- Three race and ethnicity climate surveys (students, staff, faculty);
- Monthly eConvenings featuring noted speakers each month, to which all members of each participating CSU campus community are invited — students, faculty, and staff; and
- Access to a trove of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) professional development materials located online at EquityConnect, which are available to all CSUCI community members.
