^{_{Welcome to the CIE...}
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.

PROGRAMS & INITIATIVES Our goal is to connect you with educational programming, campus events/activities, and resources, that will help you dig deeper into the terms: culture, diversity, equity, inclusion, social justice, identity, and intersectionality. (A few of our endeavors are listed below)
