Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging in the College of Business

Intro

Building Community by Embedding EDIB

The College of Business is committed to equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging (EDIB). We are committed to building a community that fully embraces all people both equitably and inclusively--a college culture where students, faculty, and staff members belong. Belonging in the College of Business is the feeling of security and support when there is a sense of acceptance, inclusion, connection, and identity for members of all groups. Belonging enables individuals to be their authentic selves at school or work.

We demonstrate our commitment to EDIB through ongoing learning followed by purposeful actions. Our college mission is to prepare students for success. Whether student, faculty, or staff, you can succeed here. You belong here.

You Belong Here.
