Introduction
The Special Collections and University Archives department of Old Dominion University Libraries have created an exhibit celebrating the history of diversity and inclusion on campus. The exhibit features a timeline of social change and notable firsts at ODU regarding all aspects of diversity including, but not limited to, African-American history, women's history, and the LGBTQIA+ and international communities.
Did we get something wrong or do you want to include additional information? Please contact Special Collections and University Archives at libspecialcollections@odu.edu.
