Bloomsburg University's Frederick Douglass Institute for Academic Excellence (FDIAE), under the inspiration of Frederick Douglass and other distinguished leaders of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, promotes academic excellence among students and advances their understanding and appreciation of human diversity.
The institute is part of the PASSHE collaborative established to enhance the academic life of participation universities and to enrich their campus climate. It enables all members of the university community to identify with a man whose life and work embody American democratic ideals and educational excellence.
This year, FDIAE will be hosting its 2nd Annual FDIAE Creative Expressions Competition. This competition is open to all current BU students. Through our main theme - Excellence Through Social Justice: Realities and Possibilities - this competition is intended to amplify the voices and perspectives of students from all disciplines making connections between social justice and culture, economics, education, history, and science. It encourages thoughtful reflection and critical thinking through creative expression in various mediums for the purpose of sharing experiences, highlighting democratic ideals and moving audiences to action.
