Diversity & Inclusion

The vision and plan of the Cultural and Resource Centers focus on developing the talents of scholars, fostering conditions that support achievement, and reducing institutional barriers. It addresses the success and retention of scholars in marginalized communities, by detailing cutting-edge paradigm shifts to make the University of Arizona a model of inclusive excellence in service to its scholars.

The University of Arizona is the first four-year public university in the state of Arizona to be federally recognized as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). As a research-intensive land-grant HSI, the University of Arizona is committed to responsively meeting the educational needs of our vibrant and increasingly diverse communities of Arizona.

The mission of the Office of Native American Initiatives is to uphold the UArizona's commitment to its land-grant mission and inclusive excellence by advancing the academic aspirations of Native American students and faculty, and a tradition of service to Native Nations.
