The Fund for RE & Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Donors ensure that Ransom Everglades is a place that cultivates belonging and inclusion through gifts to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

While empathy and compassion are the core, programming is the lifeblood of the DEI initiative in any institution. This work gives life, vitality and hope to members of these smaller pockets. But equally important, programs thrust the talents and creativity of underrepresented groups to the forefront, and we begin, almost in wonderment, to recognize the concrete similarities shared by all. 
“Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programming at RE gives students and faculty the opportunity to engage in important conversations about how our identities affect our life experiences. This promotes a more welcoming and inclusive RE community and helps us develop a more open-minded worldview. DEI programming has prepared me to become a compassionate and effective leader after graduation.” 
– Karyna Steele ’23

 “Diversity, equity and inclusion work transcends the classroom and forms Ransom Everglades into a true home. I truly appreciate the efforts of our administration, faculty and staff to parallel the rapidly progressing DEI world. As members of the Diversity Council, we are able to act as a space for discourse and safe discussion.” 
– Francisco Gomez Rivas-Vazquez ’24
