Celebrating 50 Years of Promoting Equity

The Speicher-Rubin Women’s Center for Equity and Diversity is celebrating its 50th Anniversary during the Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 semesters! We will feature programming advancing the voices and lived experiences of underrepresented identities and communities. Everyone is invited to like and follow us on socials at @njcuwomensctr and come to our events which are open to the public. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

The Center has a history of educating and inspiring all members of our campus and community, advancing an inclusive environment, and advocating for an equitable University culture across all identities.

With a 50-year history at NJCU, the Speicher-Rubin Women's Center for Equity and Diversity remains committed to creating an inclusive community where everyone respects and values diverse cultures, experiences and perspectives.

GOALS 

In this initial effort to develop a more institutionally integrated and more specific approach toward advancing the broad connect of equity and diversity, it will be important to identify goals and objectives that address these three areas:

• Support of institutional leadership
• The extent to which the issues of equity and diversity are incorporated into both the curricular programs, as well as co-curricular activities
• The degree to which the events, messages, symbols, values, etc. of the campus make it a welcoming and inclusive environment for all students, faculty, and staff members of the broader community
• To empower students to create a campus culture that values women and under-represented students and their diverse identities and experiences
• To provide, coordinate, and participate in comprehensive sexual violence rich reduction programs
• To assess the campus culture for women and under-represented students and advocate for a climate that eliminates barriers, prejudice, and bigotry, and creates a hospitable climate for all women and under-represented students
• To sponsor speakers, performers, events, and activities that address the interest and concerns of women and under-represented students
