The University of Scranton values diversity as a critical part of its mission. It is the intention of the University Administration and Board of Trustees to promote initiatives that energize the commitment to diversity, provide opportunity for international and inter-cultural engagement as well as expand opportunities for multicultural experiences for our community. This is embedded within the 2010-2015 Strategic Plan for the University of Scranton and captured in Magis (the pursuit of excellence), Cura Personalis (care for the whole person) and Rei Solicitudo (Stewardship).

 The Diversity Initiatives Fund is available to any campus group, department or individual that seeks to promote a greater understanding of diversity through inclusive pedagogies, educational opportunities, multicultural activities and community outreach programs.  Student applicants are required to have an employee sponsor (staff or faculty).

All Diversity Initiatives Fund applicants are strongly encouraged to target one or more of the goals outlined below.
