We believe that diversity and inclusion is necessary to achieve academic and institutional excellence. Every student, faculty and staff member not only matters, but their unique perspectives are the core of our strength and our success. Check out the programs that support our students.
TRIO programs around the country offer low-income and first-generation college students the personal attention, planning and information to manage their financial constraints, strengthen their academic skills, adjust to the campus environment and set goals that lead to graduation and responsible participation in society.
Each college or school has a diversity officer who reports to the dean. Diversity officers develop and implement unit-level strategic plans for diversity and inclusion focusing on composition, achievement, engagement and inclusion as the attributes of their inclusion efforts.
The Office of Diversity and Inclusion works closely with university students, faculty and staff to create and sustain an inclusive learning, living and working environment where all members of the university's community feel that they are welcomed, valued and supported.
The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs seeks to support students of marginalized communities with advocacy services, awareness and comprehension of diversity issues through programs, events and trainings. They also assist the campus community and student organizations to expand their efforts to cultivate an inclusive community at the university.
