DEI Clubs and Organizations
The following are clubs and organizations found on our Rindge campus that focus on diversity.
A.L.A.NA
A.L.A.NA (African, Latinx, Asian, Native American) was first established in 2007 by Phebe Higgins. A.L.A.NA has changed its purpose based on the needs of the campus community. Today, A.L.A.NA’s mission is to establish a student version of the D.E.I council and work to bring the campus community together. A.L.A.NA members are dedicated to creating a place of belonging and provide resources for students of color at Franklin Pierce University. Any registered student who is interested can join and be a part of this amazing group. For more information, send an email to Diversity@sh-fyz.com.
Diamond Steppers
Established in 2019 by Alana Thompson and Devin Jones, The Diamond Steppers have brought a new and fresh feel to Franklin Pierce University. Stepping combines clapping, stomping, and dancing to create rhythms and beats. It takes origin from African Dances, and is now used by black fraternities, sororities, and step teams all over the world. It is an art form that is both exciting and educational for both members and the community as a whole. We meet in the dance studio on Thursdays and Fridays throughout the entire school year. We also perform around campus in basketball games, A.L.A.N.A organized events, as well as our own step show at the end of the semester. For those who want to join but may not want to perform, we offer the option of being a part of our stage crew which operates sound, takes pictures, and keeps costumes in order. We hope you consider joining our club!!! All are welcome. For more information, send an email to DiamondSteppers@sh-fyz.com.
Gay Straight Alliance
GSA (Gender and Sexuality Acceptance) is a club dedicated to being a safe space for queer and non-queer allies alike. The mission of GSA is to establish a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment where members and visitors can openly discuss their experiences as well as learn about the experiences of others in the LGBTQ+ community, while under the confidentiality of Article XI. GSA also aims to promote an environment free of prejudice or fear and protect students from any institutional abuse based on their identity or affiliation with LGBTQ+.
