About Us

SMU’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion works with people across the University to develop, coordinate, and advance the organizational vision and strategy to fulfill the University's core values of excellence, integrity, intellectual freedom, open dialogue, diversity and inclusion. Reporting directly to the President, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion guides and supports University policies and practices that foster inclusive admission, recruiting, hiring and promotion practices, and oversees SMU's Cultural Intelligence and anti-bias training. The office works to promote understanding across cultures and identities, explore interdisciplinary solutions to injustice and inequity, and prepare SMU students, faculty, and staff to effectively collaborate, lead, and create world-changing solutions with diverse partners.
