ODU Inclusive

It’s Black History Month, and this year’s theme highlights the innumerable contributions that African Americans have made to advancing labor equity and innovation.

So this month, we call on our University community to celebrate not only the labor of African Americans, but also their vision and determination which have built and continue to shape the fabric of this nation, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and ODU.

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the countless victims of N**i persecution, and others targeted by hate.

This day reminds us of the importance of confronting all forms of hatred and prejudice wherever they arise. As a campus community, we recommit to fostering understanding, equity, and inclusion, ensuring that such atrocities are never repeated.

Let us reflect, remember, and learn. Together we can build a world rooted in justice and human dignity.
