The Loyola College in Maryland College Diversity Committee imagines a campus where every member of the campus community celebrates diversity; engages issues of diversity, values and respects the diversity of individuals, their experiences and opinions; and encourages expressions of that diversity while supporting the Jesuit Core Values.
The College Diversity Committee provides campus leadership on diversity issues through education and action. It serves as an advocate for the diverse groups within the Loyola community and promotes change in campus climate, curriculum, policies, and procedures to bring them into agreement with its vision and mission.
The diversity issues addressed by the Committee include: diversity in undergraduate and graduate student populations; curricular diversity in undergraduate and graduate programs; recruitment, mentoring, and retention of faculty, staff, and administrators of color; creating a campus climate that assumes, accepts, and engages diversity as necessary to the pursuit of the Jesuit educational mission; creating mutually supportive linkages, and enhancing the College’s reputation, in Baltimore; creating mutually supportive relationships with other colleges and universities in the Greater Baltimore area; and other issues as they arise and complement the committee’s charge.
