Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Team (EDIT) is a School of Public Health initiative open to all students, faculty, and staff, whose primary mission is to proactively increase awareness around equity and diversity while building a more inclusive community by working together to host events and facilitate challenging conversations.
Events include Edible Education sessions, held every other Wednesday, to introduce community members to the diverse resources available on campus and create an open community space where individuals (or groups) can bring their questions or concerns. EDIT also hosts speaker events and panel discussions featured around popular topics with public health.
For more information on how to join upcoming events please visit the Facebook page and visit the website https://www.sph.umn.edu/about/diversity-inclusion/about/edit/
At the School of Public Health we value each individual’s complete health. A number of staff in the School of Public Health are trained Mental Health Advocates and can help direct you to resources. Look for the ‘Student Mental Health Advocate’ signs. Lauren Eldridge is a mental health advocate in Student Services.
