We lift up our diversity as the unique strategic advantage it is, providing the environment in which our students learn with one another to generate new knowledge that helps the world’s people leverage and celebrate the value of difference.
–President David J. Schmidly

Welcome to the Division for Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Website! This is an exciting year full of opportunity to engage our University community in efforts that will promote Inclusive Excellence.   Inclusive Excellence means that we are moving beyond “representational diversity” (which UNM has had for a long time) and integrating diversity and excellence by bringing together diverse worldviews, diverse research ideas and the ability to teach to multiple ways of learning and knowing.  In building Inclusive Excellence our students are better prepared to work and interact in a diverse world.
