The Beloved Community

While progress toward this goal is always ongoing, Dr. King believed we can indeed achieve this when we work together to create an inclusive human family. King often spoke about the solidarity of the human family and how our personal growth—both our intellectual and moral growth— is the product of the depth of our relationships with others. The more inclusive we are, the more we all grow from the perspectives of others. Beloved Community programs and events are highlighted throughout the year.

Inclusive Community Grants

Inclusive community grants are open to all faculty, staff and students and will provide $250 to $2,500 in funding for a special project during the 2021-22 academic year. These projects should address a campus climate concern and promote dialogue among members of the campus community on topics such as race, socioeconomic status, age, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, disability, to name a few.
