Diversity 360

Diversity 360 is a campus-wide diversity education program for students, faculty, and staff developed in collaboration between the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Office for Inclusion, Diversity, and Equal Opportunity.

Diversity 360 can be implemented into modules for undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff that will assist the campus community in advancing its efforts to be a welcoming, inclusive environment for learning, leading and innovation.
