About the Office
Many Paths, One Mission
The Office of Inclusive Excellence serves as the internal support unit in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences for underrepresented minority students, faculty and staff. Recruitment and retention, professional development, training and mentoring play an integral role in the initiatives designed to attract and support under-represented minorities.
Established in 2000, the office’s motto “many paths, one mission” describes our commitment to providing an inclusive learning environment for students, faculty and staff from all backgrounds and ethnicities. It also captures the commitment to our mission and goal of fostering individual growth and strong relationship-building skills that empower our students to effectively contribute and excel in a global society.
