Our Mission:
We recognize that every individual holds various identities that shape who they are
and how they experience the world. We have created a space where we can explore the
intersections that unify and divide us, so that we can engage in transformational
experiences that result in increased connection and inclusion.
The CESJ partners with various academic departments, student support programs, and community service agencies to provide lectures, workshops, discussions, film screenings, spoken word, and art exhibits that explore issues of culture, belonging, power, oppression, and injustice in our community.
Our Goals:
- We strive to be a space that informs the SBCC campus and greater community on issues of identity, belonging, equity, diversity and social justice
- We strive to enhance the cultural and educational experience of students by providing a safe and welcoming environment for student to engage in community building and connection.
- We strive to amplify the voices of marginalized communities through education and collaboration.
- We strive to confront and explore issues that divide us such racism, classism, ethnocentrism, ableism, ageism, sexism, and heterosexism
- We strive to create an environment that values each member of our community.
