Campus Communities
Students, faculty, and staff should take advantage of the centers, offices and affinity groups found across the CMU community.
Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion
The Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion actively cultivates a strong, diverse and inclusive community. The center offers resources to enhance a transformative student experience for all in dimensions such as student success, campus climate and intergroup dialogue.
Additionally, the center supports and connects historically underrepresented students and those who are first in their family to attend college in a setting where students’ differences and talents are appreciated and validated.

We respect and value each person as a unique individual, and we are committed to working with all students to meet their health and wellness needs.
