COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

There has been significant effort put toward centralizing and accounting for all of the thoughtful DEI-related events happening at Baldwin. DEI planning spans throughout the entirety of the Baldwin community with events specifically targeted to students, faculty and staff, parents and alumnae.

The goal remains to implement and further support sustainable changes while learning how to work on tension points with kindness, honesty and intellect. Everyone in the Baldwin community is encouraged to be mindful and considerate of unexpected intersectionalities and to highlight and honor our differences.

A variety of events are held throughout the year to engage the community in the School’s DEI efforts, including:

• DEI-related field trips for students

• Faculty and staff attendance at the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) People of Color Conference

• Student attendance at the NAIS Student Diversity Leadership Conference

• Professional development DEI workshops for faculty and staff

• Asian Cultural Celebration

• Martin Luther King Jr. Assembly and service opportunities

• Holocaust Remembrance Assembly

• Building Bridges Conference

• Parent engagement events, such as “Compassion is the Engine of Belonging,” where parents learn about the science of compassion and belonging and how they can contribute to the values-driven work already underway at Baldwin
