Vision and Purpose Statement:
We uphold the principles of respect and civility as key to preparing students for a diverse society. Providing opportunities to gain knowledge and exposure to diverse perspectives, histories and contributions, are critical to helping all university members flourish in their pursuit of personal, academic, social and professional excellence. The office promotes diversity in all dimensions of University life. We initiate and support opportunities to learn about racial, ethnic, gender, religious, and cultural differences that result in a greater understanding of human diversity. The focus of our office is to:
1. Assist with the recruitment and retention of disproportionately represented students, faculty and staff
2. Encourage the development of curricular and co-curricular programs that enhance intercultural dialogue and understanding
3. Provide, in coordination with appointed representatives, academic services and a support network for students participating in the Incetive Award program, the Urban Scholars program, the Templeton Scholars and King-Chavez-Parks programs
4. Develop opportunities for the Incentive Award program, the Urban Scholars program, the Templeton Scholars and King-Chavez-Parks students to participate in research, scholarship, creativity, networking and character education programs
5. Develop early outreach academic enrichment opportunities for freshman and sophomore high school students from disproportionately represented populations
