Mission

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion-Campus Life is committed to supporting and challenging all undergraduate and graduate students by facilitating co-curricular experiences and learning about identity, inclusion, equity, and social justice education. We serve the campus community through education, advising and training, and university-wide programming.

Vision

We envision a Princeton University culture that affirms and supports the identities, backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives of all students in a way that informs University efforts to create equity across student identities and experiences.

To this end, we focus our efforts in these strategic areas:

  1. Engaging undergraduate and graduate students of all backgrounds and identities in reflective learning experiences related to identity, inclusion, equity, and social justice education.
  2. Supporting marginalized student populations and advocating for institutional change in the areas of diversity, inclusion, and equity.
  3. Strengthening belonging and cultivating community-building that centers marginalized identities and narratives.
  4. Creating collaborative, student-centered partnerships with allies and constituents within the University and with broader communities to advance our mission.
  5. Responding to the needs of our students, colleagues, and constituents around issues of diversity and inclusion.

Princeton University is committed to equal opportunity and non-discrimination. To maximize excellence, we seek talent from all segments of American society and the world, and we take steps to ensure everyone at Princeton can thrive while they are here. That is the sole rationale and purpose of our diversity and inclusion programs, all of which are voluntary and open to all, and which comply with federal and state nondiscrimination laws. Princeton does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, ethnicity, color, national origin, religion, disability, or any other protected characteristic, and Princeton does not provide special benefits or preferential treatment on the basis of a protected characteristic.
