Diversity Dialogues
About the Facilitators Reimagining Equity and Diversity (FRED) Initiative:
The FRED team is a resource group compiled of administration, faculty, and students working towards making the Fredonia campus, including its individual departments and student groups, more open and accepting of all who wish to further their education here. The FRED team will continue to work with the university and its students to encourage intergroup dialogue, increase cultural awareness, and lead the charge in reimagining the Fredonia experience. The FRED team also works very closely with the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, not only to educate, but to prevent prejudice, discrimination, and oppression against all people, both on campus and in the community. Its ultimate goal is to contribute in creating a campus climate that is favorable to the development of human potential through acceptance and understanding, not just compliance. The FRED team also aims to break down communication barriers through the facilitation of campus workshops and discussions.
