We assess and identify equity, inclusion, accessibility, anti-racism, and justice opportunities within HSLIC’s spaces, including our online spaces and for employees.
The HSLIC Justice, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is dedicated to providing leadership in the development of a welcoming and inclusive environment for our diverse patrons and employees. The committee promotes equity, inclusion, justice, anti-racism, and accessibility initiatives within HSLIC and beyond through collaboration with members of the campus and the community. The primary goal of the committee is to strengthen and promote the role of HSLIC as a space that utilizes cultural humility, cultural wealth, and asset-based thinking to support and demonstrate the value of our learners and community members. The purpose of the committee will be to work appropriately with reflection and learning to better understand the needs of our community and the ways to make an impact, while also identifying and taking action to create change.
Committee members should be represented by HSLIC employees (including at least 1 student worker), HSC community members, at least 1 UNM University Libraries member, and at least 1 UNM HSC student who doesn’t work at the library. The committee works to create spaces for members to take appropriate breaks, discuss their emotional wellbeing, and reflect together and individually.
