LEAN IN

We will continue to support the work of those who are already committed to racial justice and we are dedicated to finding new ways to join them in the fight. It is critical during these challenging times that we find ways to lean in and support each other. Whether it is through events, student groups or advocacy, there are so many ways to get involved.

GSPP Student Groups

The Advocate
The Advocate is GSPP's student-run newsletter discussing diversity within our school, the University of Denver, and the Denver community as a whole. The monthly publication highlights current student and faculty involvement within the surrounding community and provides opportunities for advocacy.

Voices of Discover (VOD)
Voices of Discovery is a program designed to allow students, faculty, and staff to explore and process multicultural issues and experiences. Groups meet twice per quarter, and members are asked to participate for the full year to establish cohesion and continuity dialogue. Members are assigned to groups to include individuals of varying race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, nationality, sexual orientation, etc. to promote differing perspectives within discussions.

Diversity Dialogues
Diversity Dialogues is open to all students, staff and faculty in GSPP. The committee meets twice per quarter and hosts events/discussions to address topics such as micro aggressions in therapy, identity-based violence, and multiculturalism in assessment. Diversity Dialogues also advocates for inclusion of students including promoting religious diversity, advocating for rights of students with disabilities, and gender nonconforming students.

A Seat at the Table
A Seat at the Table is a quarterly meeting of racial minority persons at GSPP to process experiences as graduate students. A Seat at the Table will provide a space for students of color, bi-racial, and multi-racial students to openly engage in dialogues amongst other minority students about the unique experiences and stressors of being on a predominantly white campus. This group serves as a resource for students of color and minority students to unapologetically show up and let themselves be fully seen and known, where they can speak from the heart as opposed to worrying about what is socially acceptable.

GSPP Pride
GSPP Pride is an affinity group for students, staff, and faculty at GSPP who are members of the LGBTQIA+ community. The group was created in 2019 to meet the need for this community to gather and talk about issues relevant to being LGBTQ+ at GSPP, at DU, in Denver, and globally. Following in the path established by A Seat at the Table, GSPP Pride will serve as a resource for queer students, faculty, and staff to “unapologetically show up and let themselves be fully seen and known.” GSPP Pride provides a voice for LGBTQ+ members of the GSPP community when issues arise.
