Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Diversity is embedded in all we do in the College of Arts and Humanities.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Social Justice—these fundamental values are embedded in all we do in the College of Arts and Humanities. The university as a whole stands as a model for diversity through its student population and programming; ARHU leads the university in the percentage of underrepresented minorities among faculty, students and staff. To be fully in ARHU is to boldly recognize the value and centrality of diversity and inclusion in all that we do; to adopt a deeply multicultural, multinational approach to research and teaching; and to commit ourselves to educating students who are worldwise and worldready.
