Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion

The Center for Student Diversity & Inclusion fosters an inclusive and welcoming environment on campus.

The Center for Student Diversity & Inclusion pursues this goal by providing direct support services, educational programming and community building opportunities within and across social groups.

A Student-Centric Approach

The CSDI seeks to engage all students in diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. The Center helps achieve this by partnering with the offices of academic access and disability resources, international student programs, and religious and spiritual life to support student-organizations that closely align with respective office missions and programming initiatives to uplift the intersections of culture and identity.

The Center also offers specific programming and support to the following student populations*:

Students from ethnic and racial backgrounds that have been historically and systemically underrepresented and underserved. 

Students who may identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender non-conforming, queer, asexual, intersex, etc.).

Students who are the first to attend a higher education institution and neither of their parents graduated from a four-year college or university with a bachelor's degree or equivalent.

Students attending college within the United States who hold an nonimmigrant or undocumented status.


*The Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion acknowledges the challenges of language when categorizing the social identity. The Center is committed to continually reviewing the terminology to best represent the above groups in the language that best reflects and affirms their individual and collective identities.
