Diversity Education Week 2022
Diversity Education Week (DEW) is celebrated as a part of upholding our commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive campus. We use this week to promote awareness and understanding of diverse cultures and intersectional identities by building opportunities for connection, community, and engagement. DEW is a signature week presented by the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

National Volunteer Week: April 18-24
National Volunteer Week debuted in the United States in 1974 and has continued to grow every year since. Individuals, offices, schools, and teams volunteer their time during this week to make their communities better. The University of North Alabama is celebrating National Volunteer Week through various events, workshops, and volunteer opportunities within the campus and surrounding community.
Highlighting Student Service: UServe
UServe is an interactive, monthly program that incorporates education, training, service, and reflection to create dynamic social change. Each month focuses on the social challenges that exist today and connects with local agencies and organizations that work with those specific topics to help provide a better understanding and experience.
In the past, students have partnered with the following organizations:
Safeplace
Rescue Me Project
Arc of the Shoals
Room in the Inn
Sacred Way Sanctuary
Common Ground Shoals
Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area
And as a part of NVW (2022) we will be partnering with Keep the Shoals Beautiful for Userve April and we will be focusing on environmentalism and hosting a community clean-up.
