The Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs (OVPDEMA) is focused on creating an inclusive and diverse environment at all IU campuses.
Through a number of initiatives and collaborations with diversity offices on all IU campuses, OVPDEMA works to recruit and retain minority faculty, staff and students while also encouraging a welcoming campus culture and engaging in community outreach and advocacy.
I am truly privileged to be a part of IU, where differences are embraced and valued rather than simply tolerated.
