Marquette’s Diversity Advocates program offers cultural competence and diversity training and activates available to students. The following description can be found on the Diversity Advocates’ website: “In Marquette’s commitment to the furthering of knowledge and fulfilling the mission, that seeks a campus climate that welcomes, celebrates, and promotes respect for the entire variety of human experience. The Diversity Committee members are agents of that movement through providing support, mentorship, and advocacy to students, and an exploration platform for faculty, staff, and administrators of the Marquette Community. “[Diversity Advocates] are a body of people who are passionate about creating an inclusive and welcoming campus community in which everyone’s unique backgrounds, identities, cultures and perspectives are respected, embraced and celebrated. We are currently made up of administrators dedicated to provision of student services that not only enhance students’ academic performance, but also nurture the whole person. “[Diversity Advocates] provide support, mentorship, and advocacy to students. “[Diversity Advocates] provide opportunities for education and discussion around issues of diversity that not only help us to serve students, but also help us as employees to continue to grow and learn about those very issues and ourselves (thus serving the greater values of the university – Service, Leadership, Excellence, Faith).”
