Diversity is the key to unlocking STEM excellence
The recently opened Diversity and Inclusion Student Center (DISC) is a space for our community to come together to celebrate our differences. The physical space and its programming, promotes, educates, and supports diversity in STEM. DISC is open for student organizations, events, workshops, and meetings. It is also a space that students and faculty alike can reach out for resources and trainings. Supported by the School of Engineering, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Provost Office.
Through DISC, students can:
- Host events, receptions, workshops, or meetings with student organizations, departments, or services on campus
- Access resources in a safe and comfortable environment
- Collaborate on projects and ideas
- Celebrate diversity and achievements of their peers and community
- Utilize the space as an open lounge
- Learn about the vast diversity, cultural histories, and contributions of SCU’s student, alumni, faculty, and staff population
Our Mission
The Diversity & Inclusion Student Center (DISC) will affirm the Jesuit vision of social justice and cura personalis. Promoting diversity in STEM and creating a safe space in which all STEM students feel heard, represented, and included. Serving the underrepresented student population in both the School of Engineering (SoE) and the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). A location where all student organizations, in both SoE and CAS, can reserve to host meetings, events, training around diversity and inclusion, allow for cross collaboration across disciplines, and much more.
DISC will serve as a place to support and strengthen outreach in our local underrepresented communities. Serve as a meeting or end place for students/families/youth groups on their STEM tours. Offering programming for outreach events that can strengthen our local pipeline and highlight our efforts in diversity, equity and inclusion to our surrounding communities.
Hours of Operations
