Who We Are

Rooted in the Dominican tradition, the Center for Diversity and Inclusion serves as a safe space for all members of the Aquinas community to engage in empathic cross-cultural exploration, as well as to develop a deeper understanding of their individual cultural identity. Particular emphasis is placed on fostering the holistic development of racially and ethnically underrepresented students.

Facilitate workshops on creating a more inclusive campus climate
Organize events for the campus to engage a variety of cultural traditions
Provide volunteer opportunities to combat social inequities

What We Value

We believe all students benefit from a multicultural learning environment. Encountering diverse perspectives and experiences prepares students to be successful in a global society.

Advocacy

Working to promote inclusiveness across campus, the Center serves as a resource for concerns and inquiries regarding diversity and equity. We pride ourselves in helping all members of the AQ community to feel welcomed and connected.
