The Office of DEIJ hosts quarterly Women Faculty Lunches for all faculty to network, build community, and enjoy activities with one another. All lunches take place in the Center for Academic Medicine 3rd Floor Great Room. 

Every year, the Office of DEIJ hosts the Peds Multicultural Food Fair to celebrate cultural diversity, food, and community. The event features food from a variety of countries and cultures. In 2025, we uplifted Peruvian, Filipino, Korean, Cajun, and Ethiopian cuisines to the department, and enjoyed the day with 250 faculty, staff, and trainees across the department. We look forward to hosting this event each fall!

The Office of DEIJ hosts a variety of department socials originally through the ARISE (Act, Respond, Include, Sustain, Empower) Community Building Action Team. These events are open to faculty and staff in the department, and we have enjoyed boba, a book swap, a film screening, and jeopardy over Zoom. Our office plans on hosting more events to continue to build community within our department!
