Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

Students from Foxcroft’s Black Student Union (BSU) organize multiple events each year during Black History Month that allow the entire campus community to celebrate and reflect on Black History. 

Throughout the month, students share educational and informational videos and presentations during Morning Meetings on topics such as The Divine 9 and the Origins of Step. There are also performances ranging from vocal soloists to choreographed Step routines. The community comes together at a celebratory Black History Month banquet as well.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, the Spanish Club and Foxcroft community celebrate annually with a Hispanic Heritage Month program and banquet. Students speak to the annual theme of the cultural celebration, sharing personal stories of what their Hispanic heritage means to them. The program also includes performances, including vocalists and dancers who perform an amazing Mexican dance known as “Balie Folklorico.”

Foxcroft’s diversity and global community is never on more prominent display than during our annual International Week, organized by the World Languages Department, Global Cultures Club, and International Ambassadors. International Week boasts meals that take us around the globe, served throughout the week and chosen through surveying our student body, as well as trying to be representative of the countries we DO have in our community, and prepared by the Dining Hall staff. Students have created menus, brought in family recipes, and will share information about each cuisine and its respective culture.

The week culminates with the much anticipated International Gala and International Bazaar. The Gala will kick off Friday evening festivities with performances from many of our talented international and domestic students, followed by the Bazaar featuring workshops and interactive events.
