Equity, Diversity & Inclusion at St. Norbert College

At St. Norbert College, we are dedicated to creating an environment that fosters learning and respect for individual and group differences across cultures, perspectives and beliefs as part of an educational environment that fosters intellectual, spiritual, and personal development.

As a Catholic, Norbertine, liberal arts institution our commitment to communio calls on us to establish a community that is welcoming to all and engage in practices of inclusion that recognizes the sacred dignity of all persons.

In fulfilling our institutional mission of providing an educational environment that fosters intellectual, spiritual and personal development, the mission for the office of diversity affairs is to engage the students, faculty and staff in recognizing the dynamic diversity that exists in our community through the expansion of our awareness; increase our knowledge of a dynamic and complex world; and continually seek to reflect on and refine our inclusive efforts by attending to the ways in which the college meets our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion. 

The office of diversity affairs is charged with overseeing equity, diversity and inclusion efforts on behalf of the institution with specific focus on the needs and interests of the students, faculty and staff, as we continue to diversify the campus community.
