Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

The University of Oklahoma is committed to achieving a diverse, equitable, and inclusive university community by embracing each person’s unique contributions, background, and perspectives. The University recognizes that fostering an inclusive environment for all, with particular attention to the needs of historically marginalized populations, is vital to the pursuit of excellence in all aspects of our institutional mission. This view enhances the OU experience for all students, faculty and staff, and for the communities that we engage.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at the college level provide a sense of professional identity and camaraderie to all students pursuing the same or similar degree programs. Today, colleges are encouraged to identify support programs and staff to help transition underrepresented minorities into university life.
