Celebrating Our Diversity
The mission of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) is to develop opportunities that promote inclusive excellence.
We empower, advocate for, and support populations that have been traditionally underrepresented, including, but not limited to:
- Students of color
- Students who identify as LGBTQIA+
- First-generation college students
- Differently abled students
- International students
The Office of Diversity and Inclusion provides trainings, facilitation, and education on topics that challenge individuals to think critically about their worldview. We collaborate with student organizations, faculty, staff, and administration, to bring programs and services that enhance cultural awareness. Through our initiatives, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion hopes to foster an environment that values, respects, and celebrates the diverse identities represented at Elmhurst College and beyond.
