Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

The Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion provides university-wide education, support, accountability and leadership on issues relating to diversity to the campus and community.

The Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion exists because WVU is always striving to create the safe, diverse, welcoming community we all deserve.
