RIC recognizes how essential diversity and inclusion is in an educational environment informed by cultural inquiry and designed to stimulate critical and creative thinking.
The mission of the Rhode Island College Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is to ensure that diversity and inclusion are active and ongoing processes that promote social justice and equity college-wide. The division provides leadership to identify, assess, and eliminate institutional inequalities in areas related to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, religion, social class, language, disability, socio-economic status, national origin, citizenship status, age, and veteran status. Our commitment is to promote campus climate that is diverse, supportive, welcoming and safe for all.
