Institutional Diversity and Inclusion


Advancing Toward a More Inclusive and Equitable Community

The mission of the Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion (OIDI) is to provide university-wide leadership to promote and support the development and success of diversity and inclusion initiatives. Together, we transform the institutional culture by executing on our commitments to diversity and inclusion in all our endeavors and building a culture of accountability for advancing them. In this way, Xavier will be recognized as a national leader of inclusive excellence in higher education.
