Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
The College of Health and Human Services Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion has moved to the CHHS Student Engagement Center, which is located in the atrium of the CHHS building.
We seek to be a community of learners that embraces, respects and advocates for human diversity, inclusion and social justice in its education, research and service programs. We invite all students, faculty and staff to actively work together to become a more diverse, inclusive and just community.
