Schedule of CDOR Events

Please be advised that some of our upcoming Campus & Community Dialogue on Race (CDOR) events may cover sensitive topics such as grief, loss, and decolonization, which could trigger/activate emotional responses. 

Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), will be available at various events to provide support. If you need assistance during or after any of these sessions, please feel free to reach out to them for help. Your well-being is our priority. 

The Campus & Community Dialogue on Race (CDOR) is an annual event at Cal Poly Humboldt. It invites students, staff, faculty, administrators, and community members to present and attend programs relating to racial justice and its intersections with all forms of oppression and resistance. Our aim is to create spaces and structures for reflection, analysis, dialogue, and positive strategies for change.

Students can earn a unit of credit in Critical Race, Gender, & Sexuality Studies "ES 317- Campus & Community Dialogue on Race". You don't need to be a CRGS student to enroll in this class, we welcome everyone! Check out our list of CDOR events below.

Celebrating the 26th year of CDOR, this year's Dialogue will take place from October 21st (Mon) to October 25th (Fri). The vision of the Campus & Community Dialogue on Race is to achieve racial, social, and environmental justice. We're dedicated to promoting and facilitating change by engaging a diverse range of individuals and viewpoints. Our goal is to explore the impact of racism and its intersections with all forms of oppression.

Labor Acknowledgement

Today we recognize and acknowledge the labor upon which our country, state, and institutions are built. Remember that our country is built on the labor of enslaved people who were kidnapped and brought to the US from the African Continent and recognize the continued contribution of their survivors. We acknowledge all immigrant labor, including voluntary, involuntary, and trafficked peoples who continue to serve within our labor force.
