Office of Diversity and Inclusion
Our office focuses on supporting access and success of the traditionally underrepresented students in higher education via intrusive engagement the development of an intentional culture that facilitates the learning process and empowers students to make sound academic, personal, and professional decisions. We serve as a collaborative link with other University stakeholders such as Undergraduate Admissions, Student Aid, and the Multicultural Resource Center, to support students' overall success.
Students are encouraged to meet with Earl F. Merritt, Director of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion in the College of the Liberal Arts.
