About This Group

Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion & Belonging (i3b) helps faculty, staff, and students develop the knowledge, awareness, and skills to cultivate an inclusive and social justice oriented campus community.

Through three-identity-based spaces: The Mosaic and Pride Centers, and The Gathering Space for Spiritual Well-Being, i3b affirms and celebrates the multiple, diverse, and intersecting identities of marginalized students and the wider campus community. i3b works collaboratively towards co-creating systemic, group and individual change rooted in radical love and belonging.
