Division of Access, Engagement, and Success - RIT

Division of Access, Engagement, and Success - RIT Human diversity is essential to organizational growth and synergy.

These differences create points of tension that spark alternative viewpoints and ideas and ignite the kindling forces behind creativity and innovation. To that end, the mission of the Office for Diversity & Inclusion is to foster living, learning, and working environments that support and incorporate principles of equity, diversity, inclusion, and community. The Office for Diversity & Inclusion se

rves as a vital resource to develop and implement campus wide initiatives and programs to promote diversity and inclusive excellence to students, faculty, and staff. Through various programs and special projects, the Office continues to foster relationships between RIT and the Greater Rochester Community. As an administrative support system to the Chief Diversity Officer, the Office oversees the daily operations and logistics of the organization as well as the budgetary needs for various programs. In addition, the Office is committed to the development of diversity education and monitors the areas that target diverse populations across the university. Programs and offices under the Office for Diversity & Inclusion are:
- Multicultural Center for Academic Success (MCAS)
- McNair Scholars Program
- Future Stewards Program (FSP)
- LSAMP
- I'm First
- Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP)
