Additionally, EVERY ATTENDEE who RSVPs ahead of time will receive a UC Merced branded padfolio. Don’t miss out on this awesome event. What do we mean by “Inclusive Excellence?” To us, inclusive excellence means that we as a campus community strive to create a campus climate where every individual is valued, celebrated, and fueled towards growth. Inclusive excellence recognizes the rich diversity and cultural backgrounds of students, staff, faculty, administrators, and alumni constituents at UC Merced as assets, knowing that true excellence for our university community cannot be reached without inclusion of all members. This means we support our students in being social justice leaders and advocates for the causes that matter to them; we support a broad definition of diversity because what varies our community makes us beautiful and innovative; we support our greater Merced community and seek opportunities to give back and learn through experience; and we support the engagement of all of our students, as they join a community as their authentic selves. At the YouSeeMerced Inclusive Excellence Symposium, attendees will hear from our amazing keynote speaker, Le’Trice Curl, Associate Dean of Students for Campus Life and Director of Student Life and Conduct, and a dynamic panel of professional staff on “Supporting Diverse Populations with Authenticity.” Attendees will also be able to attend workshops and dialogue groups from any of our three program tracks: Social Justice Leadership, Owning Your Story as a First Gen Student, or Healing & Wellness for Student Leaders.
