The mission of the Office of Student Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) is to support student success and development at Sarah Lawrence College. The Office of Student DEIB focuses on the whole student and how student intersectional identities like race, class, gender identity, religion, spirituality, ability, and sexuality impact daily interactions and experiences. The Office of Student DEIB collaborates with student organizations, campus-wide committees, and other administrative offices to provide programs and learning opportunities that explore issues related to social identity and equity, facilitate dialogue across differences, and promote inclusion and belonging.
The Student DEIB staff also provides advising and supervision for identity-based student organizations and spaces including Common Ground and the LGBTQIA Space; provides mediation support and serves as a resource for students dealing with prejudice and exclusion on campus; and manages the Chosen Name form and the Meal Swipe Sharing Program. The Office also helps manage the Bias Incident process.
