Diversity & Inclusive Excellence

Gifts to Diversity & Inclusive Excellence support the mission of the Office for Diversity & Inclusive Excellence Education: to promote and support activities and events that celebrate and advocate diversity, inclusion, and equity as well as a sense of belonging at the College and throughout the local Rochester community.

This is done through the enhancement of diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging-related educational opportunities and experiences to ensure that Nazareth students, faculty, and staff possess the knowledge and skills necessary for living and advocating toward working effectively as members of a globally interconnected society.
