UMD's Strategic Goal #2 - Inclusive Excellence

Inclusive excellence is the integration of diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of our work. We have a genuine commitment to inclusive excellence and the expansion of our knowledge and mindset. In addition, we work to support and validate multiple experiences, stories, and perspectives. Therefore, in our work we will:

  • Provide and promote education, resources, and training opportunities on equity, diversity, and social justice for the division's professional staff and student staff. 
  • Infuse co-curricular programming and services with components that create engaging learning opportunities about inclusive excellence, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and cross-cultural learning. 
  • Constantly evaluate and innovate policies and procedures within Student Life to make systematic changes towards inclusive excellence.

What Is Campus Climate?

The University of Minnesota Duluth is committed to creating a community where everyone feels welcome and appreciated. Since 2011 we have taken concrete steps to ensure that everyone impacted by decisions and practices are taken into consideration.

We seek an inclusive culture for our students, faculty and staff. That means upholding the values of respect, inclusiveness and equity while recognizing the individual needs, abilities, and potential of all.

Creating a positive climate is an ongoing process, and we are committed to helping the campus heal from disappointing actions while at the same time not letting these setbacks overshadow all of the many accomplishments.

Advancing equity, diversity, and social justice requires persistence and long-term difficult work at all levels of our campus community. Our commitment to becoming a more inclusive campus is as strong as ever, and achievements like these let us know we are making significant progress. This is especially important because it is aligned with our strategic goal to foster equity, diversity, and social justice.
