Diversity and Inclusion
Diverse People. Common Mission.
Diversity is a gift of God's creation. As a Catholic university, we are committed to honoring the intrinsic value and dignity of all people.
These values are also central to the Marianists. Founded in France during the French Revolution, the Marianists established egalitarian communities where people from various classes of society lived and worked together. All people were welcomed, and they used their collective gifts and talents to achieve their shared mission.
Today, we continue to build vibrant communities that are marked by openness, cooperation, collegiality and a sense of service. We are builders of community — dedicated to advancing the common good together.
Our Commitment
As a Catholic and Marianist university, it is our duty to be a community that promotes human dignity, and to love and respect others as Jesus taught.
Our Catholic and Marianist Identity as a Call to Diversity and Inclusion President's Blog: Why Diversity Matters
To be fully human, we must embrace multiple perspectives and look at the world through the eyes of people who are different from us to grow in our own knowledge, empathy — and humanity.
