The Office for Equity and Inclusion (OEI) envisions a university where the commitment to building a community of excellence through the affirmation of difference is seen in the composition of its leadership, faculty, staff, and students; through its policies, procedures, and practices; within its organizational structures; across its curricula; integrated into its co-curricular services and programs; and woven into the fabric of its interpersonal relationships. To that end, our mission is to promote, sustain, and advance an environment that supports principles of equity, diversity, inclusion, and community.
