Inclusion Posters
Due: Saturday, August 21 by 5:00 pm
Description:
Truman State University is an institution that values all members of our community and promotes inclusion through our values and activities. As part of the College Cup Challenge, four representatives for each team will collaborate to create a poster design that illustrates how their team contributes to an inclusive and welcoming community. Posters will be unveiled on Saturday evening as part of the College Cup Challenge Finals. Poster designers from each team will be invited on stage to be recognized and offer brief comments on their design.
The theme for this year’s poster competition is “Inclusion and Diversity in Action”
What does inclusion and diversity mean to you and how can everyone in the community play a role in unifying our campus as a place where everyone has a voice, a safe place to be their authentic self and devote their energy toward their academic goals rather than distractions and hurt that come from microaggressions or more blatant discriminatory behavior?
