Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

In Women in Business, our dedication to welcoming individuals in any industry comes from our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. It is our mission as a student organization to ensure that each member of our community has an opportunity to thrive in our environment.

Diversity: We commit to increasing diversity, which includes race and ethnicity, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, language, culture, national origin, religious commitments, age, (dis)ability status and political perspective.

Equity: We commit to working actively to reduce and respond to bias, harassment, and discrimination. We are committed to a policy of equal opportunity for all persons and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, religion, height, weight, or veteran status.

Inclusion: We commit to pursuing deliberate efforts to ensure that our campus is a place where differences are welcomed, different perspectives are respectfully heard and where every individual feels a sense of belonging and inclusion. We know that by encouraging diverse groups on campus, we can help create a vibrant climate of inclusiveness.
