These populations include not only groups who identify through race but also through religious beliefs, sexual identity, as well as other non-traditional students. The Office of Academic Excellence & Community Engagement will also work to increase cultural sensitivity of the student body, faculty, and staff as well as to enhance the retention and academic success of all students.”
