 End-of-Year Multicultural Mixer
In Honor of Ellen S. Jackson, Civil Rights Activist

The End-of-Year Multicultural Mixer provides an opportunity for Northeastern's diverse faculty and staff to network and have a good time at the close of another successful academic year.

Through the Book of Excellence, distributed at the mixer, we acknowledge and celebrate the accomplishments of our distinguished faculty and staff.  In addition to good food and fun, an assortment of raffle prizes are available for attendees as a token of thanks from area businesses. 

The event is named in honor Ellen S. Jackson (1935-2005), former dean of the Office of Affirmative Action and Diversity, and prominent civil rights activist in Boston.  Her legacy of leadership includes the pursuit of equity and social justice, cushioned in the foundations of education and community activism. 

Diversity Grant Program

The Diversity Grant Program solicits proposals for innovative educational projects or activities that have the following goals:

• Encourage collaboration between different campus communities and constituencies.
• Promote mutual respect.
• Enhance understanding of diversity and social justice.

Conferences

The Office of Affirmative Action and Diversity is involved in conferences that expand Northeastern's and New England's knowledge of diversity and affirmative action issues. The office spearheaded the Race Relations on New England Campuses Conference, and sponsors other events.
