Why Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Matter

Diversity, equity, and inclusion is at the heart of our mission. We believe that everyone should have equal access to educational opportunities, regardless of their background, identity, or circumstances. By promoting these key principles, we foster a vibrant and diverse community where all individuals can thrive and reach their full potential. Your support helps us continue to:

• Provide scholarships and financial aid to students from underrepresented backgrounds.
• Develop and implement inclusive educational programs and resources.
• Create accessible and welcoming campus spaces for all.
• Support initiatives that promote equity and social justice.

Your donation makes a lasting impact!

Inclusive Excellence scholarships serve not merely as financial assistance but as a means to break down barriers to education for underrepresented students. Through generous donations, supporters can directly influence the academic trajectories of numerous students, enabling them to harness the power of education and subsequently enrich the broader community with their insights and experiences.

Alongside scholarships, cultural programs present a tapestry of opportunities for donors to sustain and celebrate the vibrant multicultural ethos of the university. Events such as the Luau, Powwow, Juneteenth, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Celebrando Nuestras Raíces, Fiestas Americas, and the Jewish Inclusion Symposium highlight the rich tapestry of cultures and histories that make up the USU community. Supporting these events means promoting a deeper understanding of diverse cultures, fostering unity, and nurturing a truly global perspective within the USU family. Thus, opportunities for giving within Inclusive Excellence resonate with a broader mission: creating an inclusive and enriching academic environment for all.
