Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Welcome to the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. This division advances Coastal Carolina University’s commitment to access, inclusion and diversity by providing leadership and providing support, and resources for initiatives that strategically and proactively promote an institutional culture of inclusiveness and equity.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are key values and goals for CCU. In the University’s Strategic Plan – High Impact Engagement: 2016-2021 Strategic Plan, CCU established accessibility, inclusion, and diversity as one of its six strategic goals. The Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion leads and advances our efforts to engage students, faculty, staff, and the greater community in a partnership of learning grounded in the liberal arts, based on respect for diversity and inclusion.    

The Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is comprised of three offices: Accessibility and Disability Services (ADS), Intercultural and Inclusion Student Services (IISS), and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI). 

Partnering with students, staff, faculty, and community partners, the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion works to create and sustain an inclusive learning, living and working environment where all members of Teal Nation feel they are welcomed, respected, valued, and supported.
