Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The College of the Liberal Arts is committed to the recruitment, development, graduation, and placement of outstanding students from diverse backgrounds. In addition to substantial financial aid, minority students at Penn State and in the Liberal Arts can count on funding, support services, cultural events, and research and professional development opportunities that they need to reach their goals.
Students are encouraged to meet with Earl F. Merritt, Director of the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the College of the Liberal Arts.
