Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Coaching & Programming

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion office includes Academic Success Coaching, Peer Study Groups & Advocacy, Summer & Fall Bridge Programs, support for Student Organizations, Students Who Are Parents, African American Male Success Team, along with Equity Grants - all couched under the umbrella of Culturally Responsive Practices.

Inclusion is involvement and empowerment where the inherent worth and dignity of all people are recognized. We strive to promote and sustain a sense of belonging. Respect for the talents, beliefs, backgrounds, and ways of living are primary values and practices of our institution.
Regardless of a student’s socioeconomic status, creed, ability, marital status, race, ethnicity, gender identity, religion, political affiliation, or sexual orientation at some point in a student’s academic career they might need assistance outside of the normal realm of what is perceived to be in student services.
