The Center for Multicultural Excellence serves as a home base for many of our historically excluded communities and allies to find camaraderie with other students, faculty, and staff through our cultural groups, educational trainings and workshops, leadership development and support, college-to-career transition and additional opportunities to become a contributing member of our university community. The following are just a few examples of the opportunities we provide our students to enhance their engagement at DU:
• Fall Diversity and Unity Retreat - The annual Diversity & Unity Retreat is a two-day program bringing together a diverse set of students to explore issues of identity and social systems and to build campus alliances. Participants develop their knowledge of self and others to enhance their awareness of historical and current intergroup dynamics and expand their "toolkits" of campus resources and involvement opportunities.
• Excelling Leaders Institute (ELI) - ELI is designed to support incoming first-year students making the transition to college. The program consists of a one-week training in the areas of academic preparation, leadership development, social identity development, campus networking and many other key components to ensure overall student success.
• Diversity Summit - The summit is an annual event including over 600 students, faculty, staff and community members to discuss key issues related to diversity and Inclusive Excellence. Our workshops raise ideas and train participants to understand, implement, and embed inclusiveness in our learning, teaching, work, and personal lives.
