ASI stands with those who are marginalized to promote a society in which all voices are heard and to nurture a respectful environment in which all persons can grow, succeed, and thrive.
ASI believes that when diversity, equity, and inclusion are put into practice, the entire organization benefits by allowing all individuals to live, work, and learn as their most authentic selves. This commitment also includes providing fair and inclusive access to all of our ASI facilities, services, and programs.
Opportunities for education and engagement provide space for continuous transformation and growth as an organization.
Racism is an ongoing pervasive problem in American society. Within institutions such as higher education, historically racist practices have systematically ensured that racial minorities cannot always access the same opportunities and privileges as white people to succeed.
ASI recognizes that as a community of both educators and learners, we are in a unique position to address racism in its many forms. ASI has the opportunity and obligation to further dispense of racism through education and training, and by supporting civic engagement amongst our students, staff and campus partners.
ASI commits to identifying and naming racism when we see it, continuing to educate ourselves and our partners on the importance of being actively anti-racist, and working to dismantle racist systems, policies, and procedures.
The CSUF Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity Programs is excited to announce Amplified: CSUF’s Common Listen Program! Amplified is a proactive dialogue series that harnesses the power of community through podcasts.
By educating the campus community on equity and social justice issues through open dialogue, amplified aims to provide the space for participants to develop essential skills for engaging in conversations across differences and foster critical connections between personal identity and social justice.
Each month, a highlighted podcast will be chosen for the campus community to listen and come together for dialogue. Join Amplified dialogues to explore, learn, and contribute to a more equitable and inclusive campus environment!

General Assembly established the International Day to Combat Islamophobia in a resolution passed by a unanimous majority in 2022, designating March 15 as the day of the holiday’s celebration. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation was represented by Pakistan in the resolution’s introduction. It is in remembrance of the day in 2019 in Christchurch, New Zealand, when a shooter opened fire inside two mosques, killing 51 people and wounding another 40. The resolution was formally introduced by Pakistan’s U.N. representative, Munir Akram. He said that this resolution acknowledges the widespread rise in intolerance, prejudice, and violence against members of numerous religious and other communities, regardless of who is doing it. |
World Down's Syndrome Day | March 21 | World Down Syndrome Day is celebrated every March 21st because Down Syndrome is a naturally occurring chromosomal pattern in which there are 3 copies of the 21st chromosome.

National Day of Silence (LGBTQ+) | April 12 | The National Day of Silence started in 1996 as a way to bring awareness to what the LGBTQIA+ community faces on a daily basis.

It is celebrated by individuals taking a vow of silence for the entire day. |
Start of Ridvan (Baha’i) | April 21 | The Festival of Rivdan is a 14 day festival in the Baha’i faith that celebrates the day that Baha’u’llah declared that he was the manifestation of God and then entered the Garden of Rivdan outside Baghdad in April 1863.

Earth Day | April 22 | Earth Day started in 1970 as a day to bring awareness to environmental issues that Earth faces. This is an important day for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion because minorities and underrepresented groups often face the harshest consequences for the changes that Earth is undergoing. Minorities largely live in inner cities that are negatively affected by pollution and overcrowding. Globally, underdeveloped countries face environmental changes that danger their food supply including droughts, floods, fires, extreme weather, earthquakes, and more. |
World Day for Safety and Health at Work | April 28 | Every 28 April, the International Labour Organization (ILO) commemorates the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, focusing on a timely theme related to occupational safety and health.

Diversity – differences of individuals within a group that can encompass gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, nationality, (dis)ability, language, religion, age, or political affiliation
Equity – the process of making sure each person has a fair chance by recognizing each person might have a different starting point
Inclusion – the practice of making sure everyone feels welcome regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, age, religion, socioeconomic status, political affiliation, language, nationality, or (dis)ability
Anti-Racism – actively working to combat racism through first recognizing that systemic racism does happen and is part of everyday life, and then through this understanding, working to actively counter that by promoting racial justice and equality within the workplace
Bias – a natural psychological process that results in unwarranted opinions or hostile feelings about a social group that is perceived as different from one’s own. Although this is a natural psychological process that comes as a result of socialization in a biased world, recognizing it and countering it are pivotal to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work
Social Justice – the practice of advocating for equal opportunities and the fair distribution of resources for all people within a society, especially those who have been historically marginalized, and those that continue to be systemically marginalized today
Prejudice – like Bias, this is also a natural psychological process that results in negative attitudes, feelings, or options of other social group that are not based in fact
To further assist you in your diversity, equity, and inclusion journey at CSUF and in the community, we have compiled a list of resources.
