We invite you to be co-workers in envisioning a just and fair future for all.
We invite you to explore the work of Indiana University faculty and staff whose academic, personal, and professional commitment to anti-racist, diversity, equity, and inclusion work establishes IU as a national leader.
Trauma Resources
For many of us, 2020 has proved to be a year of infamy, from COVID-19 and political unrest, to social and racial injustice. Today we are still feeling the effects of that trauma through triggered feelings of anxiety, depression, isolation, confusion, loss, and more. To support the IU community recognize, define, and support healing associated with trauma, The University Graduate School has pulled together a comprehensive list of free resources. We invite you to learn more.
