Diversity and Inclusion Manager
Last night, Naperville City Council unanimously approved the creation of a Diversity and Inclusion Manager position within the city. In December, council added language around diversity and inclusion into the city’s mission statement on the heels of multiple racist incidents. Some on council said this was the next step in promoting equality. The position will manage citywide diversity training, and serve as the staff contact for the Human Rights and Fair Housing Commission, which was recently created from the Housing Advisory Commission.
Anti Racism Initiative
The College of DuPage in partnership with DuPage County is launching an anti-racism initiative. The goal is to provide a platform for meaningful dialogue that can promote change, and unite the community against racism. The college has started a new blog series, will hold discussions, and has a new website all centered around the ideas of racial equity and inclusion, with more activities to come throughout the academic-year-long initiative. More information can be found on the Chaps Unite Against Racism page on the COD website.
Top Chef Visits Solemn Oath
Naperville’s Solemn Oath Brewery will get a visit from a Top Chef on Friday. Acclaimed Chicago restaurateur and chef Stephanie Izard will be working the grill there starting at noon.
