Campus Engagement
DECC Student Council
As we face these trying times of despair and hope in the fight for racial justice, UofL’s College of Arts & Sciences recognizes our response has to be rooted in centering student voice and welcoming student agency. The A&S Office of Diversity, Engagement, Culture & Climate stands in solidarity with our students fighting for Black Lives and seeks to make our campus and community a space where students feel safe. We are seeking justice driven students for our newly formed A&S Student Advisory Council for Diversity, Engagement, Culture & Climate. Participants will work alongside the newly created faculty-staff A&S Diversity Committee to ensure we continue to make progressive steps towards ensuring a sense of belonging for all Cardinals. We realize that student time is valuable and intend to make every effort to ensure that students are adequately rewarded for volunteering their gifts and talents to the university. As such, our first task is to develop and propose a plan to compensate students for assisting and enduring in this often traumatizing work.

Community Engagement
The work conducted by our engagement unit builds bridges between the larger community and the university. Our programming often partners with other organizations and includes a broad array of programming topics. Some of our most active partnerships include joint programming with The Kentucky Center for African American Heritage, the Jefferson County Public School system, and the Yearlings Club in West Louisville.
Yearlings Club Series
This series looks at issues, topics, events which have been identified by the community as important and presents forums in which those issues can be presented and examined by the community.
West Louisville Economic Development Forum
