The mission of the Center for Inclusive Excellence is to provide leadership for positive and equitable change that creates a welcoming and supportive environment for all persons at Gustavus. We are a student-centered department that partners with stakeholders (faculty, staff, students, alumni) to design activities that infuse into college life an acceptance and deep understanding for difference, identity, and belonging that is morally and socially just.
We achieve this by collaborating with curricular and co-curricular departments to create a learning environment that offers social and educational programs, as well as mentoring programs, for students. We also partner with faculty and staff to effectively support the academic and social adjustment of students from various backgrounds and traditions.
