Towards Inclusive Excellence
At OCU, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are not just tag works, but a lifestyle. We seek to change the culture of our campus, classroom, leadership, and community. We don’t just simply want to give our students the tools to thrive in a diverse society but a heart and mind to understand and embrace diversity.  It is my desire that we don’t just talk about DEI but will create an environment that creates a place of progress and a sense of belonging for all.

Collaborative Leadership for Diversity and Inclusion
The Diversity Coordinator and OCU Diversity Committee provide leadership for diversity-related initiatives. The Committee is a cross-cutting team of students, staff, faculty, and administrators working collaboratively to develop and support the implementation of diversity and inclusion initiatives across the university. It accomplishes its mission by:
Bringing input from relevant communities inside and outside OCU,
Advocating diversity and inclusion issues, policies, and initiatives among key stakeholders,
Promoting innovation (new ways of thinking and doing things),
Building critical capacity for understanding and addressing relevant issues through awareness raising and professional development,
Supporting the success of university constituents – especially those of underrepresented or vulnerable backgrounds, and
Partnering with community members dedicated to diversity and inclusion work in our area.
