About CIE
Exploring and appreciating the complexity of individual identity.
Mission Statement
The CIE is a justice-oriented and welcoming space that fosters a sense of belonging for all students at Northeastern by centering historically marginalized individuals and communities. We do this by hosting student-centered workshops, programs, and discourse to affirm learners and build access to community care. We also promote opportunities for intersectional identity development through a social justice lens.
Northeastern has made a commitment to foster belonging on campus and the CIE is one space within the university that seeks to achieve this goal.
The CIE works to build socially conscious communities across difference. We host engaging student-led programs and student-facing DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) learning opportunities to foster a sense of belonging and promote intersectional identity development.
Our Goals:
- Create and hold space for all learners within the global network to explore their intersectional identities, develop self-awareness, and foster a sense of belonging.
- Implement trainings, consultations, and dialogues to support learners, staff, and faculty in developing the skills needed to build authentic relationships across difference.
- Provide resources for learners to understand their role in social action, activism, and civic engagement.
- Encourage community and coalition building across Northeastern’s global network.
