History
The National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID) was born out of the University of Michigan’s commitment to diversity, during a tumultuous time when the University’s efforts to diversify our student body were seriously threatened by external interests (i.e., Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger). Established in 2005, the NCID opened its office as a means of coalescing local and national efforts to diversify higher education and society, a mission that we continue to hold to this day.
Vision
Our vision is to empower people and institutions to leverage knowledge and skills around the benefits, challenges, and opportunities of diversity in order to create a truly equitable and inclusive society.
Mission
Our mission is to create a more equitable and inclusive society through the production, catalyzation, and elevation of diversity research and scholarship. In this pursuit, we also build intergenerational communities of scholars and leaders to integrate these evidence-based approaches in addressing contemporary issues in a diverse society.
