About the Lunch and Learn

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) development is crucial to building a safe and equitable workspace for GSU employees and a conducive learning environment for GSU students.

We invite GSU faculty, staff, student organizations, and friends of GSU to discuss scholarly DEIB related topics and issues openly. The information shared and discussed is designed to support employees at all levels in all departments to better work with colleagues and students of differing identities and backgrounds. It aims to build awareness and skills which support marginalized students and employees and help cultivate a safe, compassionate, and equitable environment where everyone feels valued.

The DEIB Lunch and Learn sessions are the perfect format for safe and brave conversations because participants can talk freely. These open dialogues give participants a chance to activate new skills and passions.
