About Us

We seek to explore and encourage diversity to promote a deeper understanding and appreciation for people from all backgrounds.

The Center for Diversity and Inclusion is a resource to all students, staff and faculty through a variety of programs, activities and services. We provide a concentrated focus on the progress, success and concerns of underrepresented populations on Radford University’s campus, including African-American, Asian-American, LatinX and Native American students. Additionally, we offer programming and resources for faith and religion interests and the LGBTQIA+ community.

We envision Radford University as a multicultural institution that provides a forward-thinking and progressive approach to social justice and equality. Through our commitment to educating students, staff and faculty on issues of diversity, we hope to promote global citizenry that will encourage the fostering of inclusive communities both on campus and in the world.
