Funding Opportunity: Building Community to Confront Extremism ♥ ★ ✚

Dear campus community,

The Office of Inclusive Excellence invites proposals on “Building Community to Confront Extremism” as part of the Confronting Extremism Program. This funding opportunity is open to Academic Senate faculty and directors of student resource centers at UCI.

View additional details and submit proposals no later than 5 p.m. PT on Friday, June 4, 2021 at: https://uciadvance.wufoo.com/forms/qma33w5001bt2b/.

Lessons from the current pandemic showed us fractures at key intersections of community, thriving and wellness due to magnified inequities in health, economic, and other social systems. As the three pillars of community, thriving and wellness are considered foundational to current UCI efforts for inclusive excellence, the Office of Inclusive Excellence invites projects aligned to address UCI community needs while confronting extreme ideology, practices, policies and systems that are far outside of the norms for verdant and democratic values. Central to all submissions should be a focus on inclusive excellence, and its aims to practice equity and inclusion of diverse members to realize social justice outcomes.

Sincerely,

Douglas M. Haynes, Ph.D. (Pronouns: he/him/his)
