It was through your voices and actions that have uplifted and empowered us to create more intentional dialogues for greater access and equity. Change efforts that are deeply connected to our core values take a village to actualize! We are overjoyed by the many wonderful collaborations and partnerships and for your commitment to fostering an inclusive campus culture of belonging!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) aspires to strengthen innovation, impacts, and practices as integral components of inclusive and academic excellence.
