Global Diversity and Inclusion
At the intersection of the presidential priorities of racial justice, equitable student success, and deepening community engagement lies a model of a university that represents what the future demands.
The Division of Global Diversity & Inclusion is the institutional body partnering across campus to ensure the thriving of minoritized communities and the embedding of equity and justice in all campus operations.
Student Support and Programs
GDI is home to over a dozen resource centers and programs that serve and empower our increasingly diverse student community and leads efforts to advance equitable student success using holistic, asset-based and culturally relevant approaches.

Equity and Compliance
The Office of Equity and Compliance (OEC) serves as a central resource for fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive campus environment. We are responsible for evaluating and investigating complaints of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation based on protected class status.
OEC also works proactively to address systemic equity concerns, provides guidance on institutional obligations, and ensures the university's full compliance with federal and state civil rights laws—including Title IX, Title VI, and Title VII.
Through education, policy enforcement, and responsive action, we promote accountability and equity across all areas of the university community.

Diversity Education and Learning
GDI develops diversity education offerings addressing a variety of needs and experience levels. Through a combination of theoretical and practical knowledge-based approaches, our overarching goal is to cultivate a culture of praxis (a synergy of theory and practice) that allows us to live and embody diversity and equity-minded practices.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Advocacy
GDI cultivates diversity, equity, and inclusion advocacy through the ongoing examination of all endeavors, activities, practices, structures, and systems at PSU. Campus community members are encouraged to join the President’s Diversity Action Council to be a part of PSU’s collective action to be an equitable campus.
