UNC Charlotte Diversity and Inclusion

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) at UNC Charlotte was created in the fall semester of 2020 by Chancellor Gaber as a culmination of (a) the collective and ongoing efforts of engaged members of our campus community advocating for diversity and inclusion leadership, (b) institutional surveys and self-studies among campus stakeholders to identify needs, and (c) a continued multi-year university-wide effort to address diversity, equity and inclusion at UNC Charlotte. Since ODI’s inception, we have worked to guide our campus toward inclusive excellence by developing and supporting programs and initiatives that enhance capability, build community and leverage diversity and inclusion to guide innovation in education, training, research, practice and service to help everyone thrive in their academic and professional careers.
