Diversity is a community value at the University of New Hampshire.

We are committed to supporting and sustaining an educational community that is inclusive, diverse and equitable. The values of diversity, inclusion and equity are inextricably linked to our mission of teaching and research excellence, and we embrace these values as being critical to development, learning, and success. We expect nothing less than an accessible, multicultural community in which civility and respect are fostered, and discrimination and harassment are not tolerated.

We will ensure that under-represented groups and those who experience systemic inequity will have equal opportunities and feel welcome on our campus. We accept the responsibility of teaching and learning in a diverse democracy where social justice serves as a bridge between a quality liberal education and civic engagement.

This year's 8th annual conference investigates the significant roles Black women have played and continue to play in shaping the history, culture, and image of New England as a region.  Using the theme of "Self-Invented Black Women: Navigating Race, Space and Place" the conference will explore ways in which Black women have transformed the American landscape through education, the arts, literature, politics, and notable historical movements and events.  This year's keynote speaker will feature Sheryl Lee Ralph, an award winning actress and activist to our New England communities.  Although most noted for her role of Dena Jones on the landmark Broadway musical Dreamgirls, Ms Ralph is also a health advocate and the director of DIVA (Divinely Inspired Victoriously Anointed) Foundation, focused on HIV/AIDS awareness.  More info on Sheryl Lee Ralph
