EWU Inclusion Week 2026
Diversity & Inclusion Week, now EWU Inclusion Week, is both a celebration and an illumination of the diverse identities, perspectives, and experiences that strengthen our campus community. Since 2012, this weeklong series of events has been a meaningful tradition at EWU, inviting students, faculty, and staff to engage in learning, reflection, and connection. This year, we are proud to partner with the Office of Sustainability and the Office of Community Engagement, highlighting the powerful intersections between inclusion, environmental responsibility, and community impact. Together, these collaborations emphasize that fostering belonging extends beyond our campus and into the broader world we share.
Everyone is welcome. All events are free.
There are many opportunities to get involved during this special week!

Celebrate Earth Day with us by connecting with local organizations dedicated to sustainable transportation and environmental impact. Meet Spokane Transit Authority, Commute Smart NW, and the Spokane Bicycle Club to learn how their work supports a greener, more eco-friendly community.
