The 2025 CMU Diversity Gala

Launched under the vision of Dr. Shawna Patterson-Stephens, Vice President of Inclusive Excellence and Belonging, this annual event marks the perfect close to the academic year. It brings together individuals committed to CMU’s mission of fostering inclusion, equity, and belonging, honoring both campus and regional changemakers for their outstanding contributions to social justice and meaningful change. 

This elegant evening will feature a dinner, dance, and more, providing a vibrant space to connect, reflect, and celebrate the progress made toward a more inclusive community. To learn more, check out our Campus Diversity Gala webpage.
