Our Diversity

Don’t let the numerals and percentage points fool you. Our students mean way more to us than numbers on a screen. Each student deserves to feel welcome, included and motivated to succeed. Many students face systemic social and economic challenges that are beyond their control. We will continue to uplift underrepresented students and provide a safe space for collaboration and growth for all.
