About Us

We provide programming and resources that celebrate and affirm diverse identities and lived experiences. We offer development opportunities designed to help members of the campus community better understand and address barriers related to access, opportunity and full participation. We coordinate reporting processes and ensure there is a fair and equitable response to campus climate concerns and violations of related campus policies. We identify institutional goals, advocate for change, and provide both transparency and accountability about our progress in working toward those goals.
