I want to join the coalition because as an Asian student who recently transferred to a private institution for the first time, I saw a drastic change in the diversity in the student body, and faculty. I saw a need for action, and it is especially crucial for me to take my chance while I am still a student. I'm passionate about DEI work because I have grown up missing my identity, feeling like I wasn't heard, dealing with racism, and I want other students to never feel that way. I want to see my school step up and finally take action that may be in: diversifying the school's curriculum, for them to add a DEI director, and for them to make the school as inclusive as possible.

The Ambassadors of The National Diversity Coalition are student leaders from schools all around the nation that collaborate in the coalition to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion at their school. The Diversity Alliance Executive Team will collaborate with you to elevate your DEI work on a bigger platform with various events and initiatives.
