Editor’s Note
Diversity & Academic Affairs e-Publication has now changed its name to reflect the full scope of an aspiring campus-wide coalition for diversity as well as enhanced planning and coordination at IU Southeast. On behalf of the various diversity teams, I invite everyone to be part of the coalition, and this e-Publication will continue to help communicate our shared effort and progress. (Sheying Chen)
