Diversity & Inclusion
We believe that a diverse, inclusive, and equitable campus enhances everyone鈥檚 experience, invigorating each interaction with unique viewpoints that can be shared openly and honestly.
Such an environment is inspired by the Jesuit tradition, which combines deep intellectual inquiry with reverence for all backgrounds and viewpoints. We celebrate the talents of and pay particular attention to the needs of first-generation college students and AHANA students. We also have specific advisors who support students with disabilities, veterans, and students who identify as LGBTQ.
In everything we do, we welcome and engage our students鈥� unique gifts鈥攏o matter their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, socioeconomic status, religion, ability, or age.
