Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Ministries

Although campus ministry provides a variety of opportunities for all Whitworth students to take steps closer to Jesus, students have special opportunities to build relational bridges and grow spiritually through Whitworth Campus Ministry Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Ministries:

It is a tremendous pleasure and privilege to have the opportunity to serve as your graduate assistant ministry intern for diversity, equity & and inclusion for the forthcoming biennium; this is a journey that I will take with all of those whom I am privileged to serve. In a world so divided, we, as believers, should be working to spread the love of Christ rather than contributing to making things even more contentious. Irrespective of one's identity, I aim to serve as a catalyst for positive change and engage in collaborative endeavors to enhance the global condition for the collective benefit of humanity.

An important verse to me is Galatians 3:28: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." My education in political science from Whitworth University has been invaluable to me as I pursue my lifelong goal of bringing about justice and healing for the world's most marginalized peoples. Currently, I am pursuing a master’s in administrative and nonprofit leadership. My goal is to have students, staff and the community thinking critically about problems of identity, faith and diversity. As the GAMI DEI, I will get to serve primarily all BIPOC students, international students and BUCs Bridge scholars (along with any student at Whitworth!).
