Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging at Mansfield
At Mansfield, we believe a complete college education includes active involvement with communities outside the walls of our classrooms and an exploration of new relationships within our campus community. We're committed to forging relationships across and through lines of difference.
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.
Centers, Clubs, and Commissions
The Women's Resource Center supports, empowers, and enlightens all students about issues of sex, gender, sexual violence, personal safety and health, social justice and educational equity. Our programs and events are designed to foster open discussion and intellectual exchange about these and other issues, to promote an overall sense of well-being, and to create a safe campus climate for all.
