Emory’s Diversity Week, set for Oct. 2-6, lives up to its name

By Susan M. Carini 04G Sept. 27, 2023

Publisher Malcolm Forbes characterized diversity as “the art of thinking independently together.” However you define it, one thing is beyond dispute: diversity is a key source of Emory’s strength and central to its core values.

The first week of October, which is National Diversity Week, will find the university celebrating that strength with a host of activities to deepen our ties to one another and to highlight the range of identities — including ability, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, gender identity and sexual orientation — we bring with us each day to carrying out Emory’s mission to “create, preserve, teach and apply knowledge in the service of humanity.”

The theme for this year’s Diversity Week is “A Commitment to One Emory: Accountability in the Face of Change.”

“Diversity Week is such an amazing time of reflection at Emory that allows our campus to acknowledge our journey as a community that aspires to be more inclusive and more equitable,” says Carol Henderson, vice provost for diversity and inclusion, chief diversity officer and adviser to the president. “So much wonderful work is being done at Emory to create a sense of belonging and flourishing for students, faculty and staff. A focus on this commemorative week elevates that work, connects communities across identities and demonstrates a common humanity that we celebrate.”

As the following schedule indicates, there is no shortage of ways to be part of this special week. As Henderson notes, “With longstanding activities and initiatives across the enterprise, as well as signature events our office has created in collaboration with key campus partners, Diversity Week places Emory in a national conversation with other institutions around the country who understand the importance of this work to the educational mission of higher education.”

Monday, Oct. 2

Keynote Address: “Dissent from Hopelessness: Taking a Stand from Where You Sit”
12–1:30 p.m., R. Randall Rollins Building, Margaret Rollins Room
Sponsored by the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Open to all; register here.

It will stand as a welcome reminder in Diversity Week and one that keynote speaker Traevena Byrd is happy to provide — namely, that to effect change, we should not hesitate to lead from our perch.

In a talk titled “Dissent from Hopelessness: Taking a Stand from Where You Sit,” Byrd takes her inspiration from former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, who noted: “I wish I could say that racism and prejudice were only distant memories. We must dissent from the indifference. . . . We must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust. . . . We must dissent because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better.”

Byrd will note that higher education is uniquely positioned to engage subjects such as diversity and equity. These core principles are, she says, the “bread and butter” of higher education, topics in which administration, faculty, staff and students are deeply invested.

She is vice president, general counsel and board secretary at American University in Washington, D.C. Earlier roles in her career included Title IX coordinator, EEO investigator and director of the Commission on the Status of African Americans for the state of Iowa. She is a frequent presenter on higher education legal issues, notably on the subject of free speech and student protest.
