The purpose of this directory is to provide all John Carroll University
students with a starting point to identify services and businesses that can
help welcome, strengthen, and celebrate their time spent in the Cleveland
area. This project began with the goal to seek out businesses and
resources from underrepresented racial and ethnic identity communities in
the Cleveland area:
Asian
A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East,
Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example,
Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine
Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Black or African American
A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa –
includes Caribbean Islanders and others of African origin.
Hispanic or Latino/a
A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or
other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.
Racial and Ethnic descriptions retrieved from the U.S. Office of Personnel
Management (2012).
Introduction
At John Carroll University, no students have identified as American Indian
or Alaska Native (National Center for Education Statistics, 2012). In our
research, only one Cleveland organization was self-purported as a
resource for this community in the Cleveland area. However, it was not
determined to be relevant for purposes of this directory.
Additionally, this directory does not include organizations whose main
purpose is to unite individuals on through political ideas or religious and
spiritual practices. The office of Campus Ministry at John Carroll University
provides a listing of services intended to reflect the needs various religious
& spiritual practices. You can visit their website by clicking here.
If there are services you utilize or businesses that you frequent that you
believe should be included in future editions of the directory, please visit
the Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion. We do our best to list
organizations that are accessible. If you have information about an
organization that may no longer be accessible for whatever reason, please
let us know. We welcome all comments and questions.
We hope that you can use this directory to identify spaces that
can deepen your understanding of your own and others’
experiences. It is important that as allies we affirm
underrepresented racial and ethnic identity groups and their
respective organizations.
We encourage you to engage in reflection and dialogue with the
professional staff at the Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion
and with others within the John Carroll community about this
project.
