COMMUNITY | diversity at McIntire Diversity is a collection of unique

characteristics, both seen and unseen, that

enrich our community by challenging

assumptions, inspiring thoughtful discussion,

and contributing to the development of

innovative solutions.

Diversity works when our community is

inclusive, acknowledging and removing barriers

to empower all our members to engage fully

and to contribute in and out of the classroom.

McIntire works when we recruit, support, and

educate a community as diverse as the global

workforce, and when we celebrate the unlimited

possibilities of our shared talents.

Office of Diversity,

Equity, and Inclusion
