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 diversity. With a proactive rather than reactive approach to diversity education, we seek to build competencies and thought processes among IU community members and honor our diverse campus communities. 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.
