The Center for Inclusive Excellence

The Center for Inclusive Excellence (aka: The Center/CIE) is a welcoming and supportive place that accepts and appreciates individuals from all walks of life. We invite you to support us in our efforts by...
- joining a student organization whose mission is aligned with the principles of social justice,
- attending campus events that promote diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice work,
- meeting with staff in The Center to develop an individual student success plan, and more importantly,
- meet and become acquainted with someone who you believe is unlike yourself.
