Your voice is part of a shared story at OHIO
At Ohio University, our vision for Diversity and Inclusion is to celebrate all members of our University community and to broaden our collective understanding by uplifting diverse identities, cultures, experiences, and perspectives. We recognize that this requires a willingness to have hard conversations, to recognize and call out prejudice, to hear and respect vastly different points of view, and to do all this with civility and grace.
OHIO’s Division of Diversity and Inclusion provides programming, education, advocacy, and engagement and consultation that cultivates inclusive excellence. Through broadening awareness, fostering appreciation and inspiring actions, we strive to build a welcoming, respectful and supportive campus community environment that promotes holistic success for all.
Furthering our inclusive campus efforts, the three centers within our Division: The Multicultural Center, Pride Center, and the Women’s Center, continuously envision and work to institutionalize multi-faceted strategies that welcome and uplift all members of the campus community. Our Division serves and celebrates all people by helping them explore productive ways to navigate intersections of diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives.

At OHIO we know that the work of building this diverse and inclusive community is far more than a set of boxes to check or a series of events to attend. It happens in small steps and in big leaps, in both intimate one-on-one conversations and bold systemic actions. To succeed we must be both relentlessly intentional and open to spontaneous opportunities for learning, growth, and change
Multicultural Center
The Multicultural Center serves as a place of cultural teaching and learning. All programming is designed to increase human understanding through the study and expression of culture.

Pride Center
The Pride Center cultivates safe and civil university and community environments that affirm diverse forms of sexuality, gender identity and expression, and queerness. Contributing to OHIO’s pathway to national leadership in inclusive excellence, we strive to be an exceptionally caring, educational and inclusive center. Our programming, resources, educational opportunities and community outreach efforts focus on the unique academic, cultural and social needs of LGBTQ+ students as well as OHIO staff, faculty, alumni and members of the wider community.
