Events Calendar

The Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, the Diversity Councils, and the Graduate College are pleased to announce the Hawks of Color event schedule for Spring 2022. Be sure to register here in advance below to save your spot.

Hawks of Color is a place of welcome and community building while celebrating excellence! Formerly Faculty and Staff of Color, Hawks of Color is a re-envisioned community space to support and promote conversations among historically underrepresented, global majority, and/or marginalized faculty, staff, postdocs, and students at the University of Iowa. In addition to uplifting our voices and brilliance, attendees will have an opportunity to gather with others.

Join Mr. Lew Montgomery, Assistant Director of DEI Finance and Operations & Interim Associate Athletics Director DEI, as he speaks about “We are all in this together. How to build cultural versatility in higher education.” How to uncover your self-awareness and take control of DEI issues to make productive contributions in our work on campus, in our community and in your personal life. I look to challenge individuals to look deeper and identify authentically with their emotions, to better understand how to navigate a progressively changing diverse world.

Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa-sponsored events. If you are a person with a disability who requires a reasonable accommodation in order to participate in this program, please contact Erin Stresow at erin-stresow@uiowa.edu.
