Join Tri Sigma. Be an Ally.

Being an ally means taking action – educating yourself, engaging with others, and continually advocating for equity and inclusion.  

All Tri Sigma members and alumnae are enrolled in a 3-part educational series on Inclusive Excellence through Sigma Connect. Visit sigmaconnect.trisigma.org/, sign in, and navigate to member tools > my essential sigma. You will see the "Inclusive Excellence" course under your current learning. At the end of the course, there is an opportunity to provide feedback. You can access the content at any time by visiting the completed learning page. You can also explore other available lessons by browsing the course catalog. Check back regularly for new content.    

This site is live and evolving; we will amplify marginalized voices and promote organizations with trusted educational resources. Though this is only a snapshot of the intersectional communities and identities that are part of Tri Sigma, we hope to increase dialogue and create opportunities to engage with each other in ways that foster meaningful connection and mutual understanding. If you have questions, concerns, or suggestions on making this page better, email marketing@trisigma.org.
