The Office of Intercultural Development is geared to promote diversity and inclusion, and ensure a safe learning environment. Through partnerships both inside and outside the Division of Inclusion we strive to support our students.
The McDonogh Network is an active and engaged networking organization consisting of multiple generations of Lafayette College’s Black alumni and students. The network seeks to support current members’ emotional, social, and academic growth through mentorship, communications, events, and activities. The organization will serve as a forum to uplift Black voices, support racial equity, and foster a healthy Lafayette experience.
We offer an open, safe space to acknowledge cultural identities. Our team works closely with students and groups to create awareness not only about identity, but heritage and celebrations. We encourage students to help start conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion through proposed programming and speaker events.
Gender and Sexuality Programs at Lafayette aims to increase understanding and appreciation for how gender and sexuality influences and frames our daily lives and social interactions. To accomplish this, various campus constituencies collaborate to create safe and welcoming spaces for all students, faculty, and staff; to offer educational programming and discussions; and to advise a number of dynamic student clubs and organizations with similar missions.
