DEIA Initiative
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is committed to a vision of inclusive excellence in which values of Equity and Equity-mindedness, Diversity, and Inclusion are woven into the very fabric of our institution, including our mission and identity.
At LMU, diversity defines who we are, who gets included in our university community, and indeed reflects the richness of diverse communities around us: regionally as well as internationally. Inclusion insists that all members of the LMU community are welcome and feel welcomed, have a voice and are able to fully participate in the co-creation of this vision of our world. And equity means that we are committed to building an institution that is ethically and spiritually awake, one that remembers history in its practices, and understands its moral obligation to respond to the realities of societal injustice and their impacts on underrepresented groups in our midst.
As a unit integrated across LMU, DEI uses theory-driven, evidence-based practices to put these values into action. Our programs and initiatives promote inclusive excellence throughout the entire campus community, for faculty, staff, and students.
