Across the nation, institutions of higher education are struggling to build meaningful community from an increasingly diverse student body. With programs like Unconquered Scholars, FSU is redefining what inclusion can mean on college campuses—which has led to our being named one of only 14 "Diversity Champion" universities nationally by INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine. Our approach starts with a belief that diversity is about more than a particular head count: it must reflect the quality and depth of interactions. By valuing, celebrating and leveraging the differences and similarities within our community, we create a fertile environment for problem-solving—one that is more inventive and compassionate. We’re proud that our cohesive community has become a signature of the FSU experience. But we can, and we will, do more.
This position serves as support to the EDI office by assisting in the planning, development, and delivery of diversity and inclusion projects and communication. Assists with the planning of related meetings, workshops, training, and special events; prepares and distributes meeting materials. Assists with the preparation of reports and the compilation of materials related to Diversity & Inclusion projects; attend meetings as requested; participate in assigned trainings and self-directed activities to enhance learning and further demonstrate mastery of the student’s respective field.
Meet our Interns:
Jade Lewis
Diversity and Inclusion Intern
I am a MSW student at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Diversity and inclusion work has always interested me because it gives one the opportunity to meet and learn from people who come from different backgrounds. It also gives every individual a fair and equal chance to be involved in what they are passionate about whether it be in the workplace or a university. Being an EDI intern will assist in my professional path of becoming a licensed clinical social worker by learning how to create a hospitable setting for my clients so that they can feel comfortable within themselves when voicing their problems and concerns.
