Equity & Outreach

The Equity and Outreach (E&O) committee of DSG is geared towards supporting and enhancing the voices of marginalized and underrepresented students on campus. As a committee, we understand that we cannot represent all students on campus, but our labor is towards appropriately advancing the representation of all students on campus. Our mission is to ensure that all students, regardless of background, have access to resources and opportunities that promote their academic and personal success. Former projects include supporting (im)migrant students on campus and making laundry equitable. — Despite challenges like addressing systemic issues and resource limitations, the committee strives to make Duke a more inclusive place, focusing on expanding outreach, enhancing support systems, and driving policy changes for lasting, positive impact.

Projects

• Accessibility Awareness Initiative: E+O is working to improve the campus experience for disabled students, with efforts focused on housing, Duke games, transportation, advocacy, and more.

• Progress Period: Founded in 2022, Progress Period is a student organization dedicated to expanding access to menstrual products in dorms on West Campus. E+O is collaborating with Progress Period to extend this initiative, ensuring equitable access to menstrual products for all Duke students.
