Chief Diversity Officer’s Welcome
Our collaborative approach of asking all of our campus units to co-develop goals, actions, and success metrics has empowered our community to voice their respective needs and aspirations, ensuring a plan that reflects a shared vision for the university's future and that is attentive to our vast diversity.
Santa J. Ono — President
"Our dedication to academic excellence is deeply intertwined with our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. I am convinced that we cannot be excellent without being diverse in the broadest sense of the word. Inclusion and equity, respect, diversity and integrity – these are core values of our university. They must be at the heart of everything we do. We must not back down in the face of renewed adversity."
