While we will continue to feature multicultural resource displays in the central lobby, this permanent DEI location will highlight resources on specific DEI topics and themes that are timely and impactful, in a monthly rotation.<\/p>\n<p>This is a collaborative effort among library faculty and staff, library student workers and campus partners.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Display themes will be generated through shared discussion and campus collaboration, with input from library student workers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For more information on this initiative, please contact Qing Stellwagen,\u00a0Professor, Librarian for Ethnic Studies &amp; Center, Women\u2019s &amp; Sexuality Studies (GWSS), Political Science, and International Affairs\u00a0(<a href=\"mailto:qstellwagen@ewu.edu\">qstellwagen@ewu.edu<\/a>).<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"mb-3\"><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/library\/dei-in-jfk\/\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Disability Awareness &#8211; Explore books that illuminate diverse disability experiences, promote understanding, and celebrate the voices of people with disabilities.
