Office of Diversity & Inclusion
You are Welcome Here
Welcome
Located in the upper level of the Hansen Student Center, the Office of Diversity &
Inclusion (ODI) is dedicated to the promotion of a campus community that appreciates,
encourages, and celebrates diversity. We do this by advocating for students, creating
spaces for cultural celebration, promoting leadership development, and providing opportunities
for education and reflection about multicultural identities, privilege, and gender
issues as well as topics on different world views. Come visit us anytime! |
Mission
The mission of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) is to create transformative
learning experiences for all students by supporting the mission of Illinois Wesleyan
University through fostering a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment that
promotes an understanding of and appreciation for social justice, diversity, and cross-cultural
engagement.
Paying particular attention to the experiences and needs of underrepresented and marginalized
students on campus, we service student populations including but not limited to: multi-racial,
African American, Latino/a-Hispanic, Native American, Asian-American, lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender, queer, (LGBTQIA), first generation, and women. ODI provides a variety of resources to support the holistic development,
persistence, and achievement of these students. ODI seeks to educate, advocate, and
celebrate with the purpose of better preparing students to thrive in an increasingly
diverse and global society. |
