Identity and Social Consciousness

Identity and Social Consciousness

Northwestern University believes a diverse student body ultimately leads to more thoughtful world-leaders. The Partnership Office supports efforts at ETHS and Northwestern that work to achieve a welcoming and inclusive environment for students of all races and ethnicities, accessibilities, genders and sexualities.

Our social consciousness series is important in that it establishes a sense belonging for groups that have been historically “othered.””
