EQUITY AND INCLUSION INITIATIVES
Augsburg University values the diversity of persons, perspectives, and convictions. Critical thinking, rigorous analysis, and open discussion across a full range of ideas lie at the heart of the University’s mission as an institution of higher learning. Essential to the University in living out its mission of educating students be “informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders” is that our foundation be one of inclusion.
Certificate Program
The Augsburg University Diversity and Inclusion Certificate Program is an optional program designed to help faculty and staff build the awareness, knowledge, and skills necessary to create more inclusive campus spaces inside and outside of the classroom. While this program is completely voluntary, many employees have found it to provide great benefits.
