Inclusion initiatives overview

Welcome to the

Office of Inclusion Initiatives

 

Established to champion equity and belonging at Cal Maritime, the Office of Inclusion Initiatives was created to address systemic barriers and support underrepresented student populations. Over the years, it has evolved into a dynamic hub for culturally responsive programming, strategic partnerships, and identity-affirming space-making. The office is a vital resource for wellness, peer leadership, and community building, serving the entire campus community. By fostering affinity-based collaboration and prioritizing trauma-informed, intersectional approaches, the Office continues to drive student success and institutional transformation.

• Hosted monthly Lunch & Learn dialogues on neurodiversity, gender, and resilience
• Supported students monthly with food, uniforms, and wellness supplies
• Led campus-wide collaboration with EOP, CAPS, Title IX, and student clubs
• Expanded Black and AANHDPI student success initiatives through mentorship, events, and scholarships
