Center for Student Diversity

Established in 1969, the Center for Student Diversity (CSD) seeks to create a campus community where we can raise awareness of diverse cultures, experiences, and perspectives. The CSD is a place to explore how you can build community and learn more about yourself, others, and the world we live in. 

Like never before, success—locally, nationally, and globally—is related to an individuals ability to lead, incorporate technology, and negotiate differences. It is becoming increasingly difficult to remain in isolated enclaves with people who are like us. 

TU, therefore, is engaged in increasing the diversity among its students, faculty and staff; addressing the needs and concerns of its varied populations; and promoting multicultural learning for all students.

As part of the Office of Inclusion and Institutional Equity, we collaborate to support the access and academic success of historically under-represented groups through programs and services that enhance the student experience.

We provide the following:

  • Assist the institution in outreach, recruitment, and retention efforts for students of color and other underrepresented populations
  • Advocacy and support for underrepresented and marginalized populations
  • Educational outreach to nurture awareness, appreciation, and allyship for diverse student populations and communities
  • Leadership development, mentorship, and peer education programs
  • Support for multicultural student organizations

Our staff members hope you will take advantage of the many programs and services offered. If you recognize a need we have missed, tell us about it. If you want to work with us to help eradicate bias, discrimination, and intolerance and promote cross-cultural awareness, dialogue, interaction, leadership and coalition building, please contact us. We maintain a warm, welcoming space. Stop by and see us any time. All are invited to participate in our activities!
