Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion collaborates with faculty, staff, students, and campus organizations to create an inclusive educational, residential, and professional environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive. We are dedicated to fostering a campus culture that recognizes and celebrates diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and lived experiences.
Our vision is a community where all individuals—regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, culture, beliefs, religious affiliations, political perspectives or life experiences—feel a true sense of belonging. We believe that learning, working, and living in such an environment enriches personal growth, deepens understanding, and strengthens our collective success.
