Office for Equity & Inclusion Staff

Our campus community sees difference as an asset. We value our faculty, staff, students, visitors, and friends of Wesleyan, and promote diversity and inclusion across our entire organization. We are a team of individuals working collectively and committed to creating a culture of respect, equity, and inclusion.  We believe this is the responsibility of each member of our campus and work with all constituents to that end.
