Diversity
Welcome
The mission of the ISU Office of Diversity is to promote the climate, competencies and connections that enhance the lives of all our students, staff, faculty and administrative personnel as well as others who live in the greater Terre Haute community. The ISU Office of Diversity, working in conjunction with the President's Council on Diversity, advocates for practices, programs and policies that model equity and lead to multicultural excellence.
Diversity is understood as the spectrum of human differences including racial identity, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, age, socio-economic status, national origin, sexual orientation, ability and spiritual beliefs. A focus on diversity can both spotlight the uniqueness of our identities and create opportunities for interaction, dialogue and analysis that build community.
The vision of ISU's Office of Diversity is the creation of a diverse and just campus where those who learn, live and work can contribute, lead and excel. Specifically, the Office of Diversity goals for 2009- 2010 include:
- enhancing the visibility of diversity on the ISU campus.
- supporting access and success for groups historically underrepresented in higher education in the student body, staff, faculty and administration.
We invite everyone in the ISU community and on the ISU campus to explore and embrace learning about diversity as a goal this year. Browse our web site to find events, initiatives and resources. Your inquiries, suggestions and other thoughts are always welcome.
