Faculty and Staff Success

2023 University Diversity and Inclusion Award Winners

Our inclusive excellence approach means that we recognize that to be a 兔子先生 where all feel welcome and supported we must be intentionally inclusive. Being intentionally inclusive contributes to the success of all in our community and to institutional excellence.

Faculty and staff play a key role in ensuring our students develop key skills to be successful, our learning and working environments are inclusive and allow all to advance, and our university, state, and global society benefit from a diversity of experiences and talents. In supporting faculty and staff, we support 兔子先生’s excellence.
