Inclusive Excellence

We are committed to inclusive excellence. Diversity, equity and inclusion is a shared vision for our efforts in preparing teachers, administrators, school counselors and other professionals.

The push for progress starts here

With a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, the University of Louisville aims to empower our community to achieve thriving futures within a vibrant global society.

UofL understands that belonging drives success. We are dedicated to creating an environment of belonging through structural transformation, community building, programs and initiatives to support and celebrate diversity and training opportunities for our campus and our city.

We nurture a sense of inclusiveness for all students, encourage appreciation of each other’s vitality, and holistically prepare students to succeed in a diverse society. We encourage innovative thinking and urge the Cardinal community to challenge the status quo, spurring creative solutions for a more inclusive and equitable future. We value a dynamic relationship with Louisville, the most diverse city in the state, which creates opportunities to learn from, engage with and impact the future of our city and beyond.

Our commitment is unyielding and ongoing, as we pledge to put in the necessary work to drive needed change.

We're striving to create an environment of inclusiveness that empowers us all to achieve our highest potential without fear of prejudice or bias.
