ABOUT DIVERSITY AT MIZZOU
MizzouDiversity Mission and Vision
Our Mission
To enhance institutional diversity through collaborative partnerships and strategic efforts that promote inclusive excellence and a welcoming campus.
Diversity is reflective of a community of people of differing genders, racial-ethnic backgrounds, languages, religious beliefs, sexual orientations, disabilities, national and geographical origins, socio-economic class, veterans’ status, and political views.
Inclusive excellence refers to the fact that diversity is more than demographics; and that diversity is integral to the university’s mission
of “providing all Missourians with the benefits of a world-class research university through better teaching, research, public service and economic development”. Inclusive Excellence is reflected in the campus climate, curriculum, intellectual discourse, leadership, scholarly products, and recruitment and retention efforts.
Our Vision
The University of Missouri will become a more inclusive, creative and innovative research and learning environment that facilitates the competent functioning of students and employees in a diverse and competitive global society.
