MSU Denver has been committed to diversity, equity and inclusive excellence since its inception in 1965. As such, we are poised like no other institution to convene and lead conversations and community building in light of the national movement for racial justice.
Our 2030 Strategic Plan challenges us to become “a model for shared leadership that fosters an anti-racism environment and systematic transformation through a more representative workplace that attracts and retains diverse faculty and staff, while investing in DEI service, scholarship and practice.” To accomplish this bold vision, we aim to nurture an environment where students of color and other underrepresented students are empowered to achieve personal, academic and professional success and create foundational change in their social and economic mobility.
