Identity is an e-newsletter sent to all Illinois State University students, faculty, and staff every other week during the fall and spring semesters. The purpose of the newsletter is to highlight initiatives, programs, people, research, and efforts geared toward populations which are traditionally underrepresented on campus.
The publication, which started in 2009 as the result of a Diversity Task Force, supports the University’s core values of diversity and inclusion as spelled out in Educate Connect Elevate: Illinois State – The Strategic Plan for Illinois’ First Public University 2018-2023.
