• DivBo December Overview

  
  

  DivBo is back in full swing with another year of community projects, diversity initiatives, and cultural celebrations! We’re working on some new initiatives, starting with answering our most asked question: “What does DivBo even do?”

   

  Some highlights this fall have been:

  • Return of the Salsa Dancers 💃
  • Collaborations with SOL (Society of Latinidad) for Hispanic Heritage Month
  • Native American History Month movie screening of Rez Ball. 🎬🍿

• DivBo Future Events

  Keep an eye out for our future events:

  • Fundraiser for Native American Rights Fund (NARF)
  • Collaboration with the IRIS Club Run for Refugees Fundraiser
  • RealTalk Collective Collaborations Initiative
    • Working with The Razor, and other student groups to encourage different RealTalk formats--SUBMIT HERE
  • Passion Projects--email us for more info!

• DivBo SubCommittee Updates

  The Communications subcommittee is working to publicize DivBo projects and other diversity-related events on campus, here on the Summit, and on our instagram @hopkinsdiversityboard. If you’re planning a cultural event, we’d love to help advertise--DM us!!

  
  This fall the Chairs restructured the board to more efficiently represent student interests and energy. Because our subcommittees usually work on longer-term initiatives, we’re starting a new “passion projects” initiative, which will allow students to use DivBo resources to design, propose, improve, and execute projects addressing issues they’re passionate about.

  
  The Curriculum subcommittee is transitioning from their last major initiative, where they worked with the History Department to roll out the more globally-focused replacement for the AC curricula. This fall they’re surveying students about how we can improve the English curriculum.

  
  RealTalk is working to make the platform more accessible for all community members through collaborations with campus publications like The Razor and hopes to help more students share their stories through different mediums, be that visual art, a discussion panel, written piece--remember, a RealTalk doesn’t have to be an assembly speech!! If you’ve got an idea, SUBMIT HERE.

  
  Outreach is planning collaborations with similar student organizations at other schools. They will also be working with the IRIS club on the Run for Refugees Fundraiser.
