Bulldogs Belong is a digital campaign that invites Fresno State students, faculty, staff and alumni to share their experiences with equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging in an effort to spark critical conversations that ignite a collective commitment toward full inclusivity and belongingness.

Yosagandhi Tarvin (she/her/ella) shares how she thinks each of us can make an increased commitment to ensure people of every identity feel welcomed, included and that they belong.

“Surround yourself with people that are different from you and actively seek to understand identities that you may not know much about,” she says.

When we embrace, celebrate and meet the needs of our diverse campus community, everyone feels empowered to succeed. By putting equity and inclusion into action, together, we will develop a deeper understanding of each other and what it truly means to belong.
