Inclusion Week

 

Inclusion Week 2026 — save the date and call for presenters 

Jan. 26-30, 2026 

Inclusion Week serves as a catalyst for important conversations and education on inclusion and belonging. It’s a five-day, campus-wide celebration where students, faculty, and staff come together to explore what it means to create a community of true belonging. Through workshops, panels, creative sessions, and interactive experiences, Inclusion Week offers opportunities to learn from one another and take action toward building a more connected and caring MRU community.

We’d love to have you present at Inclusion Week 2026! Whether it’s a presentation, panel, creative session, or something unexpected like a flash mob, a pop-up activity, or anything else you can dream up, the possibilities are endless.

Submit your proposal by October 10 to share your ideas, experiences, research, or project work with the MRU community and help create spaces of belonging across campus. Proposals that nurture belonging, spark dialogue, and showcase a wide range of voices and perspectives will be prioritized.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reflections from MRU Inclusion Week past years

• “I think that many of us on campus can "see" ourselves in the various sessions, whether they're about topics we can personally relate to or about topics that people we work/live/gather with can personally relate to. I appreciated the invitation and opportunity and I'm so glad this work is important to MRU.”
• “The sessions I attended helped me to reflect on inclusion and provided some concrete activities that I can use when working with students. I think the benefits of these sessions will be seen across campus for years to come!” 
• “I found the discussions were really open and honest and I loved the mix of faculty, staff, and students. I think that created really rounded and valuable discussions for all.”
• “It continues to bring folks into the conversations and helps to educate and bring together folks who care deeply about our community.”
• “The people who attended these sessions were so friendly and open to interacting with new people. For me, that went a long way towards feeling a sense of inclusion on campus.”
