Diversity & Inclusion: The Monarch Way!
At 51Ç鱨վ, diversity and inclusion are a major part of our DNA. We are proud to be part of a local, state, and international community, where our student workers, faculty, researchers, administrators, and staff hail from more than 100 countries. This rich diversity makes us a stronger educational institution by enhancing our learning and engaging us in meaningful dialogue and problem-solving. Because we know that maintaining our climate of employee diversity and respect is an indispensable part of our institutional success, we remain committed to increasing our workforce diversity to become a national exemplar in higher education.
