The Office for Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (OIDEI) is the driving force behind CMU’s commitment to creating a culture of belonging. The work of our division emerges in the expansion of institutional policy, procedure, and practice as it relates to diversity, equity, inclusion, social justice, and belonging. We aim to advance Central Michigan University as a pluralistic educational community that fosters growth and transformation in action and thought.

The Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity & Inclusion offers opportunities for faculty, staff and students to enhance their cultural competence by providing intercultural education, facilitating campus wide interaction, building collaborative partnerships to advance diversity and inclusion, and implementing educational opportunities that cultivate and sustain a supportive and inclusive campus community.
