Davenport University's DEI Vision

As a university, we will be:

  • A community where similarities and differences are respected and celebrated, multiple perspectives and diversity of thought are embraced and people are engaged in intercultural experiences, including international education opportunities. 
  • Actively promoting the full participation of all community members with an acknowledgment of the challenges faced by people from historically marginalized groups.
  • The leading example of a diverse and equitable organization, as reflected by the composition and behavior of our faculty, staff and students.
