WSB Council of Community Inclusion and Belonging
Have a positive impact on the business world by promoting the understanding that everyone brings value to our world. That’s a primary mission at the Robert B. Willumstad School of Business.
Council Mission Statement
The WSB Council of Community Inclusion and Belonging fosters a welcoming and supportive environment for all students, faculty, and staff. Through initiatives that promote mutual respect and community engagement, we build a culture where inclusion is lived every day. Our partnerships ensure that every member of the WSB community feels valued, connected, and a genuine sense of belonging.
About Our Council
Robert B. Willumstad School of Business Council of Community Inclusion and Belonging, established in 2020, helps to create and maintain a culture of inclusion that provides a sense of belonging for all.
Dedicated business faculty and staff volunteer their time and talents to:
- Advocate for a more inclusive and welcoming campus environment.
- Connect with members of the local community, to engage in educational initiatives.
- Share diverse ideas and perspectives.
Adelphi College Rise Program
The establishment of a high school mentoring program is another initiative of the council. Willumstad School faculty collaborate closely with local high schools to motivate their students to pursue higher education goals. The program includes exposing high school students to the culture of a college campus and a tuition free one credit course in personal finance. In essence, these students embark on the college career while still in high school.
Council Meetings
The council holds monthly meetings.
We are always actively seeking new members as we continue to explore new initiatives. We also recognize that there are others who want to be supportive of the Council and its work, so we also encourage them to come forward and be recognized.
To participate in the WSB Council of Community Inclusion and Belonging in any way, please contact the chairperson directly.
Two Museums Program
The Holocaust is not just a Jewish issue nor is racism just a Black issue. It is essential that we learn from the past by visiting the two museums: The US Holocaust Memorial Museum and the National Museum of African American History and Culture so that a more tolerant and just society evolves during this time when we are experiencing an epidemic of hate crimes all over the world.
