COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY

The office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion provides leadership and strategic vision in the effort to cultivate and sustain a diverse, equitable and inclusive campus environment. The office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion collaboratively develops programming and services designed to enhance the recruitment, success, retention, and well-being of underrepresented students. Additionally, this office works to ensure that campus programs, policies, and procedures foster a college wide commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Hilbert College is committed to building an environment that values and respects every individual regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, socioeconomic level, physical ability, cultural background, religion, nationality, or beliefs.

Our mission is grounded in Franciscan values, and we are committed to creating an inclusive campus environment that embraces these core values (e.g., respect, service, compassion, peace, integrity, and vision) through the promotion of diversity education, celebration, and evaluation.

We acknowledge that all Hilbert College community members have intrinsic worth and that the Hilbert College community benefits from its members who bring varied backgrounds and diverse perspectives. We strive to increase diversity in all parts of the Hilbert College community and we will continue to cultivate a community that is committed to Hilbert College’s Catholic Franciscan values

Located in Franciscan Hall, the Office of Diversity, Equity and inclusion is part of the Office of Mission & Equity. Everyone is welcome to stop by for either an informal visit or a scheduled appointment.
