Diversity

At Ithaca College, we are privileged to be part of a rich community that values diversity of opinion and background. We believe that such diversity is essential to promote an environment of dialogue and learning.

The Ithaca College Institutional Plan, adopted in 2001, lists nine priorities, including one to “accept, reflect and celebrate diversity.” The plan includes a set of goals, implementation strategies, and key performance indicators to guide our planning and decision making. Every senior leader at the College includes at least one diversity-related goal among their annual objectives.

It is impossible to convey every facet of diversity at Ithaca College within one website. It is our hope, however, that members of the campus community will use this as one tool to help learn how the College realizes its institutional plan to “enhance the diversity of students, faculty, and staff and create a supportive environment…for the entire College community.” The site contains links to information on past, present and future programs, reports and initiatives.

Please visit this website frequently for updates on upcoming events and activities. I hope we can all be aware of our roles and responsibilities in ensuring the vitality and diversity of our learning community.
