Division of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
The Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (1862 10th Ave) strives to build an inclusive campus, which fosters and nurtures a diverse, inclusive, and equitable environment. We will accomplish this purpose by purposeful conversations, ongoing education and training, and social engagement. In conducting these activities, we work with UNC students, faculty, staff, alumni and the greater campus community. Our program prepares students to develop the following knowledge and skills: achieve meaningful dialect, apply ethical principles to decisions and conversations, interact effectively with others whose identities may differ, identify opportunities to connect diversity, equity and inclusion into actions and ideas, and engage in proactive initiatives. Aligned with the institutional mission, we ensure that diverse student population voices are heard and represented, we provide an environment that is inclusive to have meaningful conversations as well as learning experiences and educate the campus on what it means to be diverse, inclusive and equitable. We approach our work with equity-minded practices, care, inclusiveness, accessibility, service-oriented, and justice.
The Division coordinates the functions of the seven Cultural and Resource Centers, the Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative (COSI), and the Upward Bound Program all of which assist in providing quality support services to promote the retention and academic success of all students (undergraduate, transfer, non-degree, and graduate). All individuals interested in learning and growing in the spirit of inclusion and equity-minded practices are invited to use the services provided by the Cultural and Resource Centers.
