Inclusive Excellence

As reflected in our mission and core values, at Radford University we believe in building a robust community of empowered faculty, staff and students that value and celebrate our diversity of cultures, backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We seek to cultivate a culture of inclusive excellence where all voices are embraced, valued, respected, and integrated into the fabric of our community.

Our office includes a broad array of faculty and academic support programs and initiatives. We seek to live inclusive excellence in our work through internal initiatives, activities and partnering with others across campus. These initiatives and activities align with goals articulated in our strategic plan. 

Strategic Enrollment Growth Goal 8, Strategy A: Align student recruitment, academic outreach and retention activities to enhance access, inclusiveness and student success.

Student Success Goal 1, Strategy D: Engage with nationally recognized experts in diversity, access and equity literacy to create a diversity policy and a training center for faculty development.

Student Success Goal 2, Strategy A: Promote cultural programming (arts, international, diversity, etc.) that encourages students, faculty and staff to actively engage with and understand different cultural viewpoints.
