Diversity

Today’s world and workplace is more diverse than ever, and learning to flourish in a diverse environment is a critical element of any education. That’s why we’ve developed institution-wide initiatives that promote awareness and understanding of diversity-related issues.

Diversity Council

The L&C Diversity Council arose out of our comprehensive strategic plan to incorporate diversity awareness throughout all campus operations. The council’s objective is to develop initiatives that increase awareness of diversity issues and reflect the diverse society in which we live and work.

Collaborating with other campus organizations that also facilitate diversity on campus, the council plans and promotes various diversity-inspired activities and acts as a supportive resource for all other existing L&C organizations, such as the Black Student Association and People First, and departments like Minority Affairs.
