Initiatives & Programs

With the firm belief that liberal arts education is at its best when it draws freely from a wide variety of perspectives, the College of Arts and Sciences strives to incorporate diverse perspectives across all of our academic programs, including those that specialize in the scholarship of diversity.

We work to foster diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging for the Arts and Sciences community inside and outside the classroom by advocating for social change, providing resources and support, and supporting students, faculty, and staff in their efforts to offer a wide variety of programs and initiatives that explore structural inequalities and the shared and unique experiences, histories, and heritages of our diverse community.
