This fund will support inclusion and belonging initiatives at Utah State University. We encourage student clubs and organizations to promote and advance events, programs, professional education, social and cultural programming that embrace diversity in all its forms. We encourage that initiatives align strongly with our institutional vision of empowering all people to lead successful lives of involvement, innovation, and impact. As a premier land grant institution, we are committed to excellence, access and inclusion. Cultivating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community where different perspectives, values, cultures, and identities are acknowledged, welcomed, and valued is a top priority.
Organizations that apply are encouraged to work collaboratively and design events and/ or programs with campus-wide/statewide impact.
