Fostering Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) is a foundational element of Penn State’s academic, research and land-grant missions. Creating an environment that welcomes community members from all identities, backgrounds and walks of life while providing equitable opportunities for all Penn Staters to thrive as their authentic selves is central to President Bendapudi’s vision for the University.
