The College of Arts and Sciences values diversity, equity, and inclusion as core strengths and essential elements in the success of its educational mission. Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is grounded in our aspiration to cultivate intellectual rigor and curiosity among our students and to prepare them to thrive in and contribute to a globally diverse, complex, and interconnected world.
The College’s 14th annual Themester is underway with an exploration of the theme of “Identity and Identification.” This year’s theme explores the concept of identity and identification from many perspectives, touching on topics such as geography and culture, disability, race, gender, and more. Events are scheduled throughout the fall semester.
