Diversity Education

Indiana University offers various educational opportunities across its campuses for staff, faculty, and students to foster an inclusive and respectful environment that encourages dialogue and interaction about issues related to equity, social justice, and intersectional diversity. With a proactive rather than reactive approach to education, we seek to build competencies and understanding among IU community members that honor the true beauty of diversity throughout our university. Diversity education takes many forms at Indiana University, including facilitated discussions, workshops, guest speakers and more.

Our university is made of many different ethnicities, cultures, generations, and sexualities, each with their unique perspective. It is my belief that educating ourselves and exploring diverse views helps Indiana University best serve the needs of our students, staff, and faculty.
