Community & Diversity

Our identity is rooted in Jesuit principles of equality and respect for everyone, and when we talk about caring for the whole person, we mean it. Inclusivity and diversity is core to supporting a community of people with an intersectional understanding of themselves and the world around them. We’re here to help you accomplish your goals while honoring your identity along the way.

Student Programs

Our campus thrives by sharing our extraordinary range of life experiences and learning from our differences. Programs through our Center for Multicultural Equity and Access, like the Black House, create an environment that inspires dialogue and sustains our truly diverse community.

LGBTQ Resource Center

Our LGBTQ Resource Center is the first such Center of its kind at a Catholic/Jesuit institution in the country. Inspired by the Catholic and Jesuit principles of respect for the dignity of all, cura personalis, equality, and education of the whole person, the Center establishes a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment for LGBTQ community members and promotes better understanding and integration with the entire campus.
