CJC Diversity Statement

The College of Journalism and Communications understands the importance of diversity as a contribution to the industries of journalism and communications in our increasingly multicultural nation and globalized marketplace.

We value diversity and the development of competence in intercultural communication and behavior for all who are a part of our college, industry and society.

Thus, we are committed to incorporating diversity and inclusiveness in our faculty, staff, students, curriculum, research, immersion properties and culture. We embrace diversity as a shared responsibility among faculty, staff and students and strive for tangible expressions of this responsibility.

We are committed to fostering a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment for individuals of all races, genders, nationalities, religions, sexual orientations, identities and abilities, to express their culture and perspectives through the art and science of journalism and communications.

Celebrating Diversity

We Are CJC is a multicultural initiative created to highlight and support the College’s diverse faculty, staff, and student body.
