Diversity and Inclusion

Everyone in our college community is important to advancing our common welfare and happiness

As members of CAPPA, we acknowledge a national history of inequity that extends to its academic institutions having denied equitable access and support to qualified students, faculty, and staff. We are committed to achieving diversity, inclusion, and equity in CAPPA through the practice of broadening faculty hiring and promotion, student recruitment, and leadership opportunities within the CAPPA community. As a multidisciplinary college, we are poised to address issues of diversity in ability, age, country of origin, faith, intersectionality, race, ethnicity, sexual and gender orientation, and socioeconomic status from varied perspectives that link the design disciplines to policy. Our vision is to create a diverse learning environment that can help us lead within an evolving society.
