Why CABR?
What does it mean?
“The Black community in particular has, for far too long, held the weight of injustice on their shoulders. How we respond as an institution of higher education in support of our Black community members matters. The pressing questions for Arcadia are: How will we mobilize around these issues even more profoundly than we already are on a local, national, and global scale? How will we live up to our mission and vision as an institution that strives to be socially just? What does it mean to reimagine our University and inspire radical change?”
— Ajay Nair, PhD, President of Arcadia University
Not Passive Players
“Many students form their social consciousness in their college years. After the groundswell of support for the Black Lives Matter movement in the summer of 2020, young people took on leadership in a renewed commitment to ending anti-Black racism.”
— Alison LaLond Wyant, EdD, Executive Director of Civic and Global Engagement
A Rising Tide
“The significance of ABRI is the collaborative approach to ensuring that policies, practices, and procedures are inclusive of creating an environment of belonging where everyone can thrive. The project-management structure and strategic approach will ensure systemic change that will enhance the experience and meet the needs of Black and other marginalized students while enhancing the educational experiences of all students. It is my hope that we continue to advance equity and anti-racism strategies at Arcadia in creating the world in which we want to live.”
— Angela McNeil, PhD, Assistant Vice President of Access, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
