 Diversity
is a core value at Wells College and is fundamental in creating and sustaining
local, regional, and global communities that reflect the principles of
social responsibility and cultural pluralism. Efforts at integrating diversity
across the campus are based on our mission
statement,
institutional strategic
plan (PDF), diversity strategic
plan (PDF), community standards
statement, and academic program goals. Wells strives to cultivate lifelong
learning of the knowledge, skills, and mindset necessary to live meaningfully
and effectively in an interconnected and diverse world.
The Wells Diversity Initiative is coordinated
by the Office of Institutional Diversity
(OID). OID works with the Office of Student
Life, the Office of the Dean of the College,
the Office of Off Campus Study, and
the various diversity committees
on campus to strategically plan and implement programs, structures, and
processes.
The Office of Institutional Diversity
(OID) was created in the fall of 2006. The mission of the office is to
help integrate the core value of diversity across the Wells campus. This
includes collaborating with staff, faculty, students, alumnae/i, and community
members. OID works closely with the president, dean of students, the dean
of the college, director of off-campus studies, and the campus diversity
committees to help design, implement, and coordinate diversity programs
and policies.
