Gifts to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion contribute to...
Our Giving Day campaign may have ended, but you can still make a gift to Springfield College! Please click this link in order to view our other campaigns and learn more about where to make your gift today!
Through our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion funds, we are enriching Springfield College’s efforts to create an inclusive, diverse, and respectful community—one that embraces, understands, and unequivocally supports every student who arrives on Alden Street. All funds raised will enhance the student experience through scholarships, creative programming, and new opportunities and will help to create a learning and living environment in which all students can thrive.
Annual support from alumni, family, and friends help keep Springfield College strong each year. You can choose to support any of the five Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion annual funds today:
- Operational Necessities - provides the funds needed to keep the Division of Inclusion and Community Engagement, including the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, thriving and meeting the needs of students each year
- Student Groups - supports student groups such as the Men of Excellence, Women of Power, Student Society for Bridging Diversity, the Black Student Union, and the SC Gender and Sexuality Alliance
- Signature Programs - provides resources for the Education and Leadership Luncheon, the Martin Luther King Jr. Lecture, the Sports and Social Justice Symposium, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Awards, and more
- Student Engagement - supports educational trips for small groups of students, including spring break social justice travel, the Men of Color National Summit, on-campus film screenings and interactive lectures, and other opportunities for students to get involved, explore history, and experience unforgettable moments that help shape them as responsible citizens
- Employee Engagement - provides support for book discussion groups, the Diversity Luncheon Series, PRIDE talks, the Reception for Employees of Color, and academic and departmental programming initiatives.
