We believe diversity is at the heart of holistic educational experiences and within our campus community, we understand to grow as a person requires broadening perspectives and developing new insights.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging promotes and advocates for diversity, multicultural and global education, and inclusivity at Mansfield. These goals are accomplished through programs and events that support and educate our campus community on issues relating to cultural sensitivity, social awareness, and global information.
