Diversity is a cornerstone of community at The Ohio State University. The Office of University Housing defines the concept as an inclusive mixture of all the differences that make the individuals at The Ohio State University unique. Through exposure, critical thinking, appreciation and interactions within our residence halls and larger university communities our goal is to empower students, staff, faculty and friends. In this, we attempt to learn from the wide array of human similarities and differences in an increasingly diverse world.
Our goals are to:
- Increase sensitivity to differences through exposure, dialogue, and personal reflection
- Address thoughtlessness that may limit our efforts
- Maintain a talented and qualified staff with a commitment and conviction toward diversity
Cultural Learning Communities
In addition to focusing on creating respectful and celebratory communities in all of our residence halls, we offer some Learning Communities for those with particular interest areas related to diversity.
The OSU Multicultural Center
Students interested in diversity initiatives can get involved with the OSU Multicultural Center. This center provides intellectual and cultural enrichment, programs, services, and facilities for students, faculty, staff and community.
