Diversity & Inclusion
Making All People Visible and Valued
At 51社区, our vision for Diversity and Inclusion is to celebrate all members of our University community and to broaden our collective understanding by uplifting diverse identities, cultures, experiences and perspectives. We recognize that this requires a willingness to have hard conversations, to recognize and call out prejudice, to hear and respect vastly different points of view, and to do all this with civility and grace.

Acknowledging the work happening around us
We believe the moments we don鈥檛 see are the ones that can matter the most, and those are the ones that should be a part of our everyday conversations. We see it in campus offices, in peer mentoring, meetings, classrooms, research, and residence halls.
Challenging our community to move forward, together
We shine a light so that this work can be seen. We provide a platform to the voices of the overlooked, We give space to engage, to be challenged, and to grow. Because in this moment it鈥檚 not just about what we need to do, but who we need to become.
Learning from our storied past
We follow in the footsteps of OHIO鈥檚 firsts: Templeton, Boyd, Blackburn, Murayama. Their visibility opened doors for us. Learning from our storied past, we know first-hand the transformative nature of our community, we challenge ourselves to go further.
