Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
At the College of Health and Human Services, 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.
Word cloud generated by students answers to the question, "what is the most important focus of DEI for you?"

DEI Community Outreach Showcase
Are you doing some work to help our local, state or even international community?
We want to celebrate you!
There is a lot of great work - often with diversity, equity and inclusion at its core - happening in this college. We would like to highlight that work for our college community.
Please use the DEI Dropbox to share some information about your project. Tell us how you're impacting the community from a DEI perspective. We'll take your info, reach out to you to get some photos, and highlight your work on the digital screens in our building and in the regular communications from the central office. You'll also go on our list for our annual CHHS DEI awards, given each spring.
