Welcome to the Clemmer College of Education Diversity Committee home page! Dedicated to the celebration of diversity in all communities, the
CCOE Diversity Committee has assembled resources that will support your involvement in this celebration. Invested in supporting your personal and professional growth in the area of multiculturalism, we hope that you find the linked pages to be helpful and interesting.
A number of resources are listed on each celebration page, which are included to support site visitors in their understanding of diversity, and specific to education, ways in which curriculum and classrooms can be infused with diversity topics and celebrations.
If you should have any questions about the CCOE Diversity Committee,
please contact Ms. Nicole Douglas (douglasn@etsu.edu).

Consider having students & colleagues take the following pledge: I pledge from this day onward to do my best to interrupt prejudice and to stop those who, because of hate, would hurt, harass, or violate the civil rights of anyone. I will try at all
times to be aware of my own biases against people who are different from myself. I will ask questions about cultures, religions, and races that I don't understand. I will speak out against anyone who mocks, seeks to intimidate or actually hurts someone of a different race, religion, ethnic group or sexual orientation. I will reach out to support those who are targets of harassment. I will think about specific ways my school, other students and my community can promote respect for people and create a prejudice-free zone. I firmly believe that one person can make a difference and that no person can be an "innocent bystander" when it comes to opposing hate.
By signing this pledge, I recognize that respect for individual dignity, achieving equality and opposing anti-Semitism, racism, ethnic bigotry, homoprejudice, or any other from of hatred is a non-negotiable responsibility of all people.
