Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity
Inclusivity and Diversity Statement
Central Washington University will be most successful when equity, diversity, and inclusion are in every program, every College, and all throughout the university.
These values are embedded in the mission of CWU and we must continue to strive and hold ourselves accountable for the commitment.
Diversity is critical to our academic excellence, ways of thinking, and our artistic expression and is only enhanced by a broad range of experiences and ideas. We must encourage, inspire, and create spaces where all identities thrive on campus and create new ways of looking at the world through inquiry, methods, discoveries and solutions. Living, learning and doing in a diverse community guarantees our strength as a community that is key to excellence and will only make us better. As our world becomes more diverse we must arm our students and ourselves with the ability to embrace and engage with diversity in all parts of our lives where we learn, work, play, and live.
Reaching CWU's goal for equity, diversity, inclusion and social justice is not going to happen overnight, nor is it easy. We have made progress through the commitment, passion and attention of many on campus and will continue to broaden the impact of equity issues across campus.
