Center for Diversity and Inclusion

The Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging serves to promote a campus culture where the individual's unique presence is valued, experience is respected, and everyone belongs.

We celebrate the intrinsic value of each individual from all ages, disabilities, races, economic status, ethnic backgrounds, genders, religions, sexual orientations, and other diverse perspectives and individual differences. We are committed to respect, inclusiveness, tolerance and sensitivity everywhere within our campus community.

We recognize that Rose-Hulman is part of a mutually dependent, multicultural community. As an institution devoted to excellence in education, we acknowledge our responsibility to teach students the skills they need to excel in their chosen field, including the ability to interact with people of diverse backgrounds and viewpoints. Our goal is to help our students become global leaders. To achieve this goal, we will:

• Promote diversity in all aspects of our community life
• Encourage every individual to respect the inherent dignity of others
• Recruit and retain students, faculty and staff of diverse backgrounds
• Strive to broaden understanding of each individual’s unique contribution to society
• Challenge stereotypes to build a broader and more inclusive world view

Rose-Hulman is committed to promoting a safe and affirming campus climate for all students, faculty, and staff. The Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging affirms this responsibility to promote a welcoming place for one and all by:

• Creating a diverse and inviting campus environment for all
• Providing diversity and inclusion education experiences
• Engaging in strategic outreach, recruiting, and support to diverse audiences
• Creating awareness and goodwill for Rose across diverse communities

We are here to provide students, faculty and staff with cultural and community building programming, intercultural dialogue and interaction, and learning opportunities. We encourage everyone to get involved. Commit to attending the Center’s programming. We’ve got a great lineup that is sure to impact our campus is a meaningful way!

Statement on Microagressions

Rose-Hulman strives to provide an environment free of microaggressions, which are common verbal, behavioral or environmental indignities, whether unintentional or intentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative characterizations and insults to people from marginalized groups.
