Office of Diversity and Inclusion

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion provides support for underrepresented student populations. The Director of Diversity and Inclusion advocates for populations such as students of color and LGBTQ and supports fair treatment for all students, faculty, staff, and guests through campus policy and best practices. Throughout the year, students are provided with a variety of services to help foster a more inclusive community. Such services include diversity training, workshops, seminars, referrals, on- and off-campus resources, and professional staff who support and advocate for issues of awareness, equality and inclusivity.

Cultural student organizations including the Black Student Union, La Comunidad (Latino/a Student Union), and the Queer Student Union are advised within this office. Support is also provided to the Muslim Student Association, Hillel (Jewish Student Union), Sisters Aspiring for Success, and the Delta Lambda Pi Honor Society. Programs coordinated by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion are History/Heritage Months, World AIDS Day, cultural awareness days, campus community standards education during orientation, a Diversity Leadership Recognition Ceremony, and Kente Donning/Latinx Graduation/Lavender Graduation Ceremonies.

The Office Diversity and Inclusion is located in the Student Life Suite on the second floor of the Whitaker Campus Center.
