Our Mission

Enhance the diversity and inclusivity of our university community through recruitment and retention of an increasingly diverse population of faculty, administrators, staff and students, and by implementing initiatives that provide rich diversity-related experiences for all to help ensure their success in an interconnected world.

These leaders assist the university and the Office for Institutional Diversity in fulfilling the goals of the DEI Implementation Plan. They have volunteered their time and talent to serve in addition to their regular jobs.
