Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI)
As stated in its strategic plan, Illinois State University "affirms and encourages community and a respect for differences." Nowhere is this more important than in our classrooms and online learning spaces. These resources can help instructors create safe and equitable environments in which our students can thrive.
