Our Mission

CARE seeks to generate solutions to complex, systemic problems within the College and support transformative institutional practice through collaboration, advocacy, and integration of anti-racist programming into curricular and co-curricular expectations and experiences.

Etown CARE Goals

  1. Distribute power across racial lines.

  2. Identify and remove barriers and deficit-orientation across policies, communications, and hiring.

  3. Make anti-racism a central value across curricular and cocurricular programming.

  4. Invest in student anti-racism resources and efforts.

  5. Assess needs and provide support for students, faculty, and staff of color.

  6. Work toward the creation of a Race and Equity coalition — a group inclusive of a broader group of people to conduct research.
