The Center for Inclusion and Diversity

The Center for Inclusion and Diversity (CID) was established in 2018 on Pacific's Sacramento Campus to create and sustain a culturally inclusive community across and within the boundaries of culture and identity.The space was created through the advocacy of the Latinx Law Student Association and the Black Law Student Association in collaboration with Lambda, Asian Pacific American Law Student Association, Jewish Law Student Association, and Women’s Caucus.

In order to best serve students in Sacramento, we're counting on your support. Donors like you help provide the CID with the necessary supplies and training opportunities that make us the welcoming, inclusive space we aim to be. Whether it's sponsoring a training event, or helping us cover the cost of coffee and tea, 100% of your gift will go directly towards supporting students who benefit from the resources available through the CID. Your investment will also help ensure that our programming continues to be available for the next generation of students on the Sacramento Campus.
