The School of Information and Applied Data Science Department recognize how critical it is to foster discussion and solicit input about advancing diversity, equity and inclusion to educate the next generation of information professionals. Without an inclusive and culturally aware environment, our Academic Units cannot enhance the student experience or understand the value of their presence at San José State University.
“Your Voices: Learning, Listening, and Sharing” aims to capture students’ voices in a space that allows conversations among underrepresented students to occur. It is an opportunity for the Academic Units to foster an inclusive community and support students by creating spaces to gather, network, and share among each other.
After finalizing the top community learning spaces, we will host eight sessions total, beginning in October 2022.
CLS and topics discussed in the said groups will be determined by student interest. To ensure confidentiality, all community learning space meetings will be provided guidelines, password protection, and recording features disabled.
