INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY COUNCIL
To work toward reaching inclusive excellence, in 2020, Chancellor Robin Gary Cummings established the Inclusion and Diversity Council at UNC Pembroke. The Council, with a broad campus representation, is charged with the development of an inclusion policy for our campus, benchmarking with peers, developing key priorities and metrics using the data and input we have received, supporting the work of other organizations on campus with inclusion and diversity responsibilities, and collaboratively implementing programs to strengthen our campus community. The Council is comprised of students, faculty, and staff.
OFFICE OF STUDENT INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY
The Office of Student Inclusion and Diversity (OSID), housed within the Division of Student Affairs, values the opportunity to celebrate and showcase the institution’s rich diversity as reflected in community members’ race, age, ethnicity, sex, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, ability, faith, religion, national origin, citizenship, social and economic class, ideology and other identities. OSID is committed to advancing equity and inclusion for all community members through intercultural engagement, social justice initiatives, education and student-centered programming. OSID is building an inclusive culture, based in alliances across differences, that addresses and removes barriers to success, fosters freedom from prejudice and promotes a community of empathy and mutual respect for the identities of all members.
