Antiracist Book Club
We are excited to announce this year’s Antiracist Book Club selections - Nuclear Nuevomexico: Colonialism and the Effects of the Nuclear Industrial Complex on Nuevomexicanos by Myrriah Gómez and Noor by Nnedi Okorafor.
In years past, IEB has selected three or four books a year to enrich our campus communities’ knowledge of antiracism, social justice, and liberation. This year we are focusing on two books so that we can create more engagement opportunities throughout the academic year. Books are available at the CC Bookstore and can be picked up with your CC ID.
Please join the Antiracist Book Club MS Team to receive quickest communication and updates about upcoming ABC programming. And please connect with Nancy at nrios@coloradocollege.edu if you have proposals or ideas for programming.

New Strategic Plan for ADEI
Take a look at the Strategy for a More Just CC
Programs
Stewardship Program
Overseen by the ADEI Leadership Team and signed by the College President, the ADEI Stewardship Certificate celebrates your commitment to continuous learning and unlearning practices that foster a deeper understanding of antiracism, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
How Do I Earn a Certificate?
Throughout the school year, a series of events that are designated as ADEI Stewardship eligible will be presented. These events include but are not limited to The Dismantling Hate Series, The Antiracist Book Club, Butler Center Workshops, Crown Center Development and others. Simply sign-in at any six designated events of these events to earn the Bronze Level. Reach the Silver Level by attending 12 events and Gold Level by attending 18 events.
Bronze: Attend 6 events
Silver: Attend 12 events
Gold: Attend 18 events
Annual Recertification – ongoing stewardship through co-facilitation of an ADEI-related event, ongoing mentorship, and championing of ADEI.
This certificate is not a check-box. Once you have reached Gold the goal is to pay it forward and to continually invest in your understanding through certification. The ADEI leadership team is always looking for ADEI champions that can help orient new staff, support continuous programming, participate in community social responsibility, and offer ongoing mentorship across the CC community.
How can I get my event to be ADEI Stewardship Eligible?
Any event that centers on issues of antiracism, diversity, equity, or inclusion are eligible for a Stewardship designation. If you feel that your event supports the college’s antiracism commitment, please submit your event at least three weeks ahead of the event. All events must include attendance monitoring and evaluations are highly suggested to ensure feedback and quality of programming. If your event meets the requirements as indicated above you will receive confirmation within 1 week from the ADEI leadership team and your event will be listed on our webpage as well.
Annual Certification
Is anti-oppressive education at the center of your life and goals? Have you already earned a Gold certificate but want to keep it fresh? You can certify your Stewardship each year after you have earned your Gold certificate by attending, facilitating, or teaching 2 certificate eligible events, courses, or programs in 1 year and completing any of the following activities:
- co-facilitation and/or planning of an ADEI-related event
- Becoming a mentor or peer educator for ADEI related programs (MAP/Riley Scholars, Instructional Coaching Program, Butler Center Peer Educators/Bridge Peer Mentors/Bridge Faculty Mentors, etc)
- Studying Abroad
- Teaching a power and privilege designated course
- Attending or presenting at a conference with an ADEI focus
Antiracist Community Engagement Grant
The ADEI leadership team recognizes the need to support and promote educational opportunities outside of the team’s current capacity. There are many programs, activities, and events that embody antiracism, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI) that are of professional development value. Department budget constraints should not deprive those interested in furthering our mission and personal growth, so we have decided to introduce an ADEI grant program to help support and offset some of the financial costs associated with participating, attending, or creating ADEI programming.
The process is simple. Complete the attached form describing your funding needs and purpose at least 1 month before the due date of the activity. The ADEI leadership team will then review your request evaluating alignment with the four pillars (courageous conversations & bold action, thriving communities, student, transformations, and elevating CC’s profile)—using an antiracist lens, promoting mental wellness, and making things sustainable. You will be notified via email within two weeks about the status of your award and or if more information is needed.
The grant will run until all funds have been exhausted, at which time we will notify the campus of the application acceptance period ending. Our goal is to make the ACE grant an annual opportunity for staff, faculty, and students alike to get involved and stay engaged, furthering our commitment for as long as funds allow.
