Multicultural Programs
The Denver Campus' Division of Student Affairs fosters cultural awareness through its diverse programming, which is designed to encourage you to share, explore and be accepting of individual and collective differences across cultures.
Showing its willingness to embrace difference, the student body, in conjunction with the Student Government Association (SGA), has created the Wildcat Commitment:
"JWU's Denver Campus is a learning community where we celebrate the unique qualities of all people, no matter their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, sexual identity, class, ability or age. The JWU student body pledges to stand up and speak out for social justice, empowerment, respect and acceptance of all people. We will promote a community that is free from hate, harassment and prejudice, where differing opinions are supported and respected, and diversity celebrated. However, if these opinions hurt and/or threaten others, we will act swiftly to ensure the safety and well being of our campus community. Together, we will make a difference."
The Department of Campus Activities provides opportunities to participate in multicultural and inclusivity programming through events and workshops.
The STAMP (Student Advisors for Multicultural Programming) Network is a group of students that assist in brainstorming, coordinating, and advertising for upcoming programming. Multicultural and inclusivity programming provides a variety of eye-opening and fun events, including comedy acts, group discussions, special guests/speakers, social and educational events, field trips in the Metro Denver area, and much more.
In addition, the Safe Zone Project was developed to to increase the visibility of the LGBTQ community, raise awareness of diversity, and educate others about gender identity/expression. This project is open for students, faculty and staff; sessions are offered each trimester.
