Resource Room

Campus Equity Week (CEW) is being planned so even our colleagues with little or no organizing experience can add their energy and ideas to the project. Of course, the first thing you should do is find out if others on your campus are already planning CEW activities. Contact a CEW coordinator at a campus near you. We encourage you to freely use the resources listed here.
