The Carbondale Branch of the American Association of University Women recently hosted a soup and salad luncheon on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The event demonstrated the AAUW's commitment to promoting equity in education for women through informational programs promoting discussions.

Guest speaker Sherrica Davis-Hunt, the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at the SIU Foundation hosted it.

Davis-Hunt shared insights about SIU's commitment to diversity and inclusion, noting that the institution's dedication to these principles predates many civil rights advancements.

She also addressed common misconceptions about DEI.

Davis-Hunt said, "It's not about taking away from one group and giving to another. It's about ensuring everyone has the resources and opportunities they need to succeed."
