Quotable

“Unfortunately, when you hear DEI mentioned in many media outlets today, it often comes with a negative connotation, weaponized by individuals who seek to spread fear and hatred to those willing to listen. But DEI is not something to be feared; it is something to be celebrated and understood. For those who may feel uncertain about DEI, those who feel slighted by DEI policies in their workplace, and those who have benefited from DEI by gaining a seat at the table—this is an invitation to join the conversation. And for those with youth and young adults in your circle, this will be a great opportunity to bring them along.”

—Aurrita Payne, UiC President
