The University Council for Diversity asked IWU alumni to participate in the Oral History Project during Homecoming 2010. Interviews conducted before and after 2010 with content that address issues of diversity* on campus will be collected here at the archivist's discretion.
If you are interested in contributing a story about your IWU experiences in general or related to diversity in particular, contact archives@iwu.edu to arrange an interview.

Documents related to the Council's work may be seen at http://digitalcommons.iwu.edu/univoffices_ucd/.

*Note: The IWU Strategic Plan Section IV lists the following Diversity Goal: "Increase and sustain diversity among students, faculty, staff, administrators, and trustees; with a special focus on attaining 'critical masses' from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, create a welcoming, inclusive, multicultural campus where all community members appreciate and respect the diversity of the nation and the world."
