Diversity & Inclusion

Office of Diversity and Inclusion

Under the aegis of the University Graduate School, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion seeks to celebrate and promote diversity in graduate education by increasing access, retention, and graduation of outstanding underrepresented candidates.

Our mission

• To connect others by creating an inclusive and multicultural educational landscape through the recruitment and retention of diverse students, especially those from domestic underrepresented backgrounds, including rural and low-income/first-generation college students
• To support students utilizing evidence-based practices by promoting a commitment to an inclusive climate for all IU graduate students through initiatives and professional development opportunities
• To engage the IU community through collaboration opportunities focusing on the academic and social sense of belonging of diverse graduate students, staff, and faculty

Recruiting excellence

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion strives to support your application process. Our staff serves as the liaison to all prospective students, especially those from diverse backgrounds and populations traditionally underrepresented in graduate education.
