Home About Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

The Office of Diversity & Inclusion (ODI) values each member of our Immaculata campus community. We stand against injustices of sex, race, age, color, disability, gender identity or expression, genetic information, marital or familial status, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, medical condition, veteran status or any other protected status. Furthermore, ODI is committed to standing against injustices of any kind.

We continue to take action to educate and empower our campus and neighboring communities in the face of difficult times. We recognize our campus as a space of learning and ongoing dialogue where ODI will work to ensure a safe forum to support expressions of thought and ideas. Aware that each of us has our own struggles and challenges, we commit and encourage others to commit to actions of kindness and compassion.
