Diversity &
Inclusion Week
[Updates coming soon!]
Diversity & Inclusion Week (DIW) is both a celebration and an illumination of diversity and inclusion. The weeklong series of events has been a staple of EWU’s culture since 2012. Our 2025 theme is “Together We Can Do Great Things.” The theme and logo were designed by student, Denise Quiroga Arteaga.
