Community Events
Focusing on Accountability & Allyship
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion can mean many things to various audiences. Here in the College of Fine Arts, we are working toward improving our efforts to become more inclusive and accepting of all people, regardless of their individual preferences, experiences, social identities and more.
In all programming this academic year, we will focus on the overall theme of Accountability and Allyship — how each of us is responsible for our actions and how we will work together to reach our goals. We are in this together. Some months we will celebrate and recognize national observances in our own way, but all our events may not relate to that one month’s theme. We may, for your benefit, offer an event or discussion that’s timely or important to talk about. We welcome your feedback on all our efforts and we look forward to working toward a unified vision of what DEI is for CFA.

After the dual pandemics of 2020, with both COVID-19 and the racial reckoning that took place after the murder of George Floyd, it’s clear that the museum field is at a tipping point. Museums around the country must shift from transactional DEAI work to transformational work that centers true equity. Come learn about some of the work Andrew Plumley, Senior Director of Equity and Culture, and his Inclusion Department at the American Alliance of Museums is doing to support museums in making the necessary shifts towards transformation.
