Student Organizations for Diversity
The Office of University Diversity and Inclusion provides advisement and support to several student organizations that represent our historically underrepresented domestic students. These student organizations and the events they host provide a multitude of opportunities for all students to gain leadership skills, learn about academic resources, and become culturally aware.Campus Climate Report Process

After you submit a report, you will be contacted by a member of the Campus Climate Team within 48 hours.
