We value the uniqueness of every individual and strive to ensure each person’s success. You can help our mission by becoming a Diversity Advocate.
UMKC values diversity as central to its mission as an urban-serving research university and as a driver of excellence in teaching and learning. We are committed to fostering an environment of invigorating multiculturalism, globalism, diversity and inclusion. We demonstrate this commitment in the goals outlined in Pillar 4 of our Strategic Plan.
Pillar 4 is modeled and adapted from the Association of American Colleges and Universities’ Inclusive Excellence Model, a framework that integrates diversity, equity and inclusion efforts into the core of institutional functioning. We work toward this mission through our division’s robust programming, education, training and consultation efforts across campus and in the community.
The Chancellor’s Diversity Council is a representative body whose mission is to facilitate the realization of UMKC’s strategic vision and goals as outlined in Pillar 4. The council monitors, tracks and communicates Inclusive Excellence progress across all administrative and academic units.
UMKC embraces a broad spectrum of diversities, including race, ethnicity, culture, nationality, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, linguistic ability, learning style, religion, socioeconomic and veteran status, life experiences, educational level and family structure.
