OUR VALUES

Inclusion

Harness the power of diversity.

“I have conversations with my students all the time, telling them they've got to incorporate studies on culture and study abroad. The wide disparities coming to light over the last few years have always been there. If the people making decisions today had taken an Africana Studies course, we can imagine they wouldn't be making some of the decisions they're making now.”

—Bryan Carter, PhD
Associate Professor, Africana Studies Program

Our Commitment to Inclusion

At the University of Arizona, our diversity makes us stronger. Inclusion infuses our classrooms, our research labs and our outreach within the community because we believe the most significant learning takes place when we are working with others who are different from ourselves. We also prioritize culturally enriching experiences and student support through our cultural living communities and resources.
