Biographical / Historical
The Student Diversity Center was established, in collaboration with other WSU Vancouver departments, to increase access to higher education and promote an inclusive environment for students of diverse backgrounds. Part of the Center’s mission is to create and maintain programs, lead recruitment and outreach efforts, and provide support for students of color, first-generation, low-income and other students of diverse backgrounds. In addition, students and alumni work in partnership to create and maintain programs that improve rates of retention, achievement, leadership opportunities, and graduation for students of diverse backgrounds by hosting events that cultivate an environment on campus where differences are respected and celebrated, increase awareness of social justice issues, pursue opportunities for growth to become more effective leaders, allies, and advocates, and encourage dialogue to promote cross-cultural understanding.
