The Center for Diversity and Inclusion


A Catalyst for Social Change

The THRIVE Center is dedicated to empowering every student to excel in and out of the classroom. Our environment and initiatives promote the principles of cura personalis, belonging, leadership, equality, dignity, and respect. By fostering collaboration and providing support, we strive to ensure that every member of our community can make meaningful contributions and experience a true sense of belonging.
