Our mission is to examine and challenge systems of oppression and privilege in society, and implement effective solutions through comprehensive educational programming, literature, institutes, and workshops locally, nationally, and beyond.

Through partnerships, outreach, research, institutes, conferences, leadership coaching, and other diversity services, the Center bridges the gap between university and diverse communities to examine real world problems and contribute to the advancement of real world solutions.

In recognition of our work we have received numerous community sponsorships and grants to support our program.

We offer two signature programs: The Knapsack Institute: Transforming Teaching and Learning, and a Graduate Certificate in Diversity, Social Justice and Inclusion
