Social Identity Student Organizations
We currently have five social identity student organizations or groups that you can get involved with! Check out the CampusGroups page for more information. Have an idea for a new social identity student organization on campus? Let's make it happen!
Asian Student Union
Asian Student Union (ASU), is a student organization whose mission is to spread awareness of the diverse cultures found in Asia. ASU aspires to be a place where students and faculty/staff can come together, step out of their comfort zones, and learn more about what various Asian cultures can provide. All UD community members are welcomed to ASU meetings and events.
LATINOS UNIDOS
Latinos Unidos mission is to make sure every student on campus has a voice, a safe space where they can be proud to be Latinx, and a representative to showcase and educate the entire Spartan community about the Latinx community.

The purpose of The MELANIN Association is to provide a fun, educational, safe, comfortable, and inclusive environment for all African Americans on campus and in the community! Additionally, The MELANIN Association welcomes the entire UD community to participate in the teaching and learning that occurs during their events and programs.

Student Programming
Raising awareness around inclusion on campus is a focus for students, faculty, and staff members through workshops, trainings, and classroom or team visits.
Through annual programming around heritage month events and national/international holidays, cultural heritage and history is celebrated. View Event Calendar.
Assistance is provided to support any student who may feel they are being treated unfairly or discriminated against in our campus community because of their background, experiences, or identities. Report incidents through our confidential reporting system.
Community Programming
Community programming is essential for a student's experience at UD! UD has great relationships with community organizations to promote student engagement within the greater Dubuque community. Take advantage of opportunities to connect with those who have come before us and those who will follow our footsteps forward. The following community organizations are resources for the campus community:
