Office of Diversity + Inclusion
The Office of Diversity + Inclusion (D+I) contributes to AAP's mission to build a more equitable world and lead college efforts to create, sustain, and continue expanding our diverse and inclusive community.
We believe in the inherent dignity and worth of every person and offer a range of resources, including training for students and staff, academic support, mentorship opportunities, cultural celebrations, and educational reflections on a range of social justice issues. The office works closely across all areas of the university to educate, empower, and advocate for all members of the AAP community to raise critical consciousness around diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
