Examine how the world is enriched by our differences.
At Western Colorado University, we view inclusive excellence as an essential value that defines who we are and pervades everything we do. The program celebrates diversity through an educational environment that honors the entities, experiences and intersectionality of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, age, physical abilities, intellectual abilities, religious and political beliefs. It also supports a firm and unyielding stance in support of diversity, inclusivity, scientific inquiry and creative expression.
The program also offers a variety of hands-on opportunities for you to learn more about the diversity that makes the world a fuller place. The Multicultural Center is your chance to collaborate with a diverse group of students on community service projects and organize cultural events. You can also volunteer with Gunnison County’s Multicultural Resources and Project Hope to provide support for local Spanish-speaking individuals and families. Paired with any major, the Humanities & Diversity curriculum will help prepare you for life after graduation and for success in a highly diverse and competitive workforce.
