Being one of Michigan’s top small colleges helps support the community environment.

Goals of Diversity & Inclusion

  1. To teach, through relevant programs and services, the value of working with someone that looks and thinks differently than you. 
  2. To support, retain and provide the best undergraduate experience to our underrepresented students.
