Office for Diversity and Student Engagement
North College Room 122
1-860-685-2272

The Office for Diversity and Student Engagement's mission is to create and facilitate a multitude of entryways for the campus community to contribute their talents, expertise, interests, and institutional responsibilities in pursuit of inclusive excellence. Inclusive excellence links diversity with student success in order to contribute to fostering students' development of the Ten Essential Capabilities. Inclusive excellence pays particular attention to strengths that students from traditionally marginalized groups bring to Wesleyan University.

The Office for Diversity and Student Engagement has four major priority areas. They are:

1. Inclusive Excellence
2. Student Success and Engagement
3. Difficult Dialogues
4. Campus Climate Log
