ED-SHEN
Through storytelling, peer exchange, and advocacy, ED-SHEN aims to create pathways to equity and inclusion across universities.
01 Problem
Ethnically diverse students often encounter exclusion, microaggressions, and systemic barriers within higher education. These challenges hinder their academic success, personal growth, and access to professional opportunities.
02 Approach
ED-SHEN creates intentional spaces for students to share lived experiences and build collective knowledge. By facilitating peer dialogue and advocacy, it empowers students to challenge structural inequities within universities.
03 Solution
Through forums, mentorship, and alumni engagement, ED-SHEN amplifies marginalized voices and fosters long-term change. Its collaborations with institutions help embed inclusion into policy, curriculum, and campus culture.
About the Initiative
ED-SHEN is a student-led initiative that centers the voices of ethnically diverse learners in higher education institutions. It recognizes the persistent barriers students face in navigating academic, social, and professional spaces that were not built with their identities in mind. Through storytelling, peer exchange, and advocacy, ED-SHEN aims to create pathways to equity and inclusion across universities.
